Valencia play their second LaLiga match just 72 hours after their opener. According to AS, Carlos Corberán has complained about the early schedule and, despite limited options, plans to rotate.

Pablo Maffeo, who saw his first minutes against Celta, is in line to start on the right.

In principle Corberán will stick with a back five, with Pepelu at centre-back. He is expected to be joined by César Tárrega and Mouctar Diakhaby, with Diakhaby taking the place of the injured De Haas, the club’s only fit specialist centre-backs.

Beyond that, the side should closely mirror the Celta game, with Guido, Ugrinic and Guerra in midfield.

Japanese forward Sato impressed Mestalla, the crowd even protested his substitution, and he is expected to start again.

The main uncertainty is up front, whether Danjuma continues as the focal point or Sadiq or Hugo Duro come in.
