Match Facts:
SD Eibar (10th, 12 pts):
-The Basques have scored in eight consecutive home fixtures, their best run since promotion to the top flight.
-Jose Luis Mendilibar has a good track record against Fran Escriba, having faced him twice with a record of one win and a draw.
-An interesting stat: Eibar's three LaLiga goals against Villarreal were all scored in the first half, whilst four of the Yellow Submarine's five league goals against Eibar came after the break.
Villarreal CF (5th, 19 pts):
-With nine games played so far this season, Villarreal are, with Real Madrid, the only unbeaten side in LaLiga. The last time that happened was back in the 2008/09 campaign when they finished fifth in the table.
-The Yellow Submarine appear to have sussed out how to play Basque sides, given that they have only lost one of their last 16 league matches against them (9 wins and 6 draws): the 4-0 away defeat to Athletic Club in May 2015.
-Villarreal have scored more first-half goals in LaLiga than any other side this season (69%).
