Valencia v Villarreal derby set for 24 October, 18.30, at Mestalla | OneFootball

LaLiga confirmed the matchweek 10 schedule on Monday, setting Valencia v Villarreal at Mestalla for Saturday 24 October at 18.30. The regional derby is among the round's standout fixtures.

It comes in a demanding October as Iñigo Pérez's side juggle LaLiga and the Champions League.

Matchweek 10 will run from Friday 23 to Monday 26 October. Barcelona face Real Madrid on Sunday 25 at 21.00 in the season's first league Clásico.

Villarreal return from the international break at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday 10 October at 21.00 for matchweek 8. On Tuesday 13 at 21.00, Napoli visit La Cerámica in the Champions League league phase. They then host Elche on Saturday 17 at 16.15, before travelling to Liverpool on Tuesday 20 at 21.00 for matchday 3.

That sequence culminates with the Mestalla derby, where Villarreal won 2-0 last season through Gerard Moreno and Santi Comesaña. Between 10 and 24 October they play five times, three in LaLiga and two in Europe, with trips to the Bernabéu, Anfield and Mestalla.
