Last-placed Deportivo Alaves welcome Espanyol to the Mendizorrotza Stadium in La Liga action on Wednesday.
The hosts have a slight chance of survival this season as they find themselves six points from safety with just three games left to play. After an impressive 2-1 win over Villarreal in April, they fell to a 4-0 loss at Celta Vigo last time around.
Espanyol are in for yet another mid-table finish this season and are winless in their last four league outings. Their run of back-to-back defeats came to an end last time around as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Osasuna.
