Match Facts:
Villarreal CF (8th, 5 pts):
-Following an inconsistent start to the campaign, Fran Escriba's side are turning things around. They ran out 2-0 winners away to Malaga CF last weekend, thanks to goals from Jaume Costa and Nicola Sansone. They also picked up their first three points in the Europa League with a win over FC Zurich.

-"We have to play the same against Real Sociedad," said the Villarreal boss in his pre-match press conference. Fran Escriba appears to have found the formula.
Real Sociedad (12th, 4 pts):
-Real Sociedad began the new LaLiga Santander season with an opening day defeat, but bounced back with a win and a draw. Eusebio's players may have started badly, but now appear to be on the up.
-Willian Jose is La Real's man of the moment. The Brazilian forward made his club debut with a start and a goal when his 78th-minute strike levelled the game against RCD Espanyol.
