Players to Watch

Arnaut Danjuma (Valencia)

Arnaut Danjuma will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against Villarreal. He has four goal involvements in nine Spanish league games this season. The 28-year-old will be looking to find spaces in the final third, which can become an issue for the opponent’s defence.

Tajon Buchanan (Villarreal)

The 26-year-old is going to play an important role both in the attacking front and in the midfield for the Yellow Submarines. In nine LaLiga appearances this season, he has scored four goals and will be yet again looking to engrave his name on the score sheet. Tajon Buchanan scored a crucial goal against Real Betis, but it was only good enough to secure a draw.
