Five players to follow on Matchday 36 in the Liga BBVA

El Arabi (Granada CF)

The Moroccan striker is in excellent form and his goals are proving vital in Granada's bid to avoid the drop. El Arabi has notched six goals in his last five appearances, a return which has seen the Andalusian side's supporters place practically all of their survival hopes in him. He will once again be charged with edging Granada towards safety in their crunch clash against UD Las Palmas.

Lucas Vazquez (Real Madrid CF)

Zinedine Zidane's men have put themselves firmly in the title hunt and given the injuries to the Blancos' attacking players, the French coach is sure to once again turn to Lucas Vazquez. The academy product has already bagged himself one important goal - in the previous matchday against Rayo Vallecano -, and this was followed by a starting role in the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City. His electric pace could very well turn out to be a real weapon for Real Madrid in their visit to the notoriously tricky Anoeta.

Koke (Atletico Madrid)

The main man in the heart of the Atletico midfield is making a real impact as the season draws to a close. The Spanish international, who is one of the first names on Diego Simeone's team sheet, is amongst the Liga BBVA's top assist-providers, after having laid on six goals in his last eight games. Against Rayo he will once again be a key figure, as the Rojiblancos look to keep their title hopes alive.

Claudio Bravo (FC Barcelona)

Real Betis are enjoying a good spell of form and they're sure to make life difficult for an FC Barcelona side who have to win in Seville to hold on to top spot. The Chilean goalkeeper will need to produce the sort of assured displays which he has consistently turned in throughout the whole season. The likes of Ruben Castro and Charly Musonda will be out to cause Bravo a problem or two and the Barça custodian will have to be at his best to keep them out.

Luis Hernandez (R. Sporting)

The Sporting centre-back has been a key part of Abelardo Fernandez's backline this season and has been an ever-present in his side's last 18 Liga BBVA fixtures. Sporting simply must beat SD Eibar to stand any chance of avoiding the drop, and a solid defensive platform will be key to their prospects of claiming maximum points. Luis Hernandez is Sporting through and through and he'll be giving every last ounce to ensure that the Asturian outfit retain their league status.
