Match Facts:
Alaves (13th, 13 pts)
- After a four-game winless run, Mauricio Pellegrino's men returned to winning ways last time out, scooping maximum points against CA Osasuna at El Sadar thanks to Christian Santos's penalty.
- Alaves have only lost once at home this term, when Real Madrid overcame them 4-1, but the Basques have also only triumphed once in front of their own fans, when they beat bottom club Granada CF 3-1. Their other three home fixtures ended honours even.
Espanyol (14th, 12 pts)
- The Catalans have not lived up to pre-season expectations so far, only chalking up two wins to date. Quique Sanchez Flores's side's last outing was a goalless draw at home to Athletic Club.
- Los Pericos are looking to break new ground at Mendizorroza, where they have never won in the Spanish top flight. Their record at the stadium in league action reads seven defeats and four draws.
