Real Sociedad and Real Club Celta de Vigo meet this Saturday in matchday 22 in the Liga BBVA with just two points separating the two sides in the league table. David Moyes' side will be looking to forget the thrashing they suffered at the hands of Real Madrid last weekend, which also saw top scorer and talisman Carlos Vela sustain a knee injury. Celta meanwhile brought an end to a run of 10 games without a win by beating Córdoba CF, and will be looking to build on that victory when they come to Anoeta.
Team news
David Moyes will be without one of his key players in Carlos Vela, who has been ruled out until April. David Zurutuza is also out with a muscle tear, while Sergio Canales and Carlos Martínez are doubts. Celta boss Eduardo Berizzo will the serve the first of a two-game touchline ban after getting sent to the stands last weekend, while Chilean forward Fabian Orellana is also suspended, Hugo Mallo and Borja Oubiña are ruled out through injury and Rodoja and Cabral are doubtful.
View from the dugout
Mikel González spoke to the media about Saturday's game and stressed that "none of my team-mates are contemplating losing the game to Celta." The defender also admitted that his team needed to demand more of themselves "because the fans know we can give more."
Celta boss Eduardo Berrizo praised the performances of his two central midfielders Michael Krohn-Delhi and Augusto Fernández against Córdoba. "They both played great games and it's vital that the team keeps its shape for the next game. "The Argentine coach described Real Sociedad as "an inconsistent team with very good individual players in attack."
