VALENCIA
 Guaita Bruno, Rami, Ruiz, Mathieu Costa, Topal Feghouli, Jonas, Alba Soldado |
Getafe's goalless draw against Osasuna on Tuesday night saw them increase their unbeaten run to three games but they will come up against a wounded animal in the shape of Valencia.
Defender Rafa is expected to be out for about a month with a quadriceps injury so once again Luis Garcia has only two fit centre-backs in Alexis and Cata Diaz. Meanwhile, Alberto Lopo, Pedro Leon and Masilela are all further injury worries for the Getafe coach.
Unai Emery's Valencia side lost against Zaragoza despite Los Che having a man advantage for 70 minutes, and the home support showed their disapproval come full time.
Emery will be without a host of players for the trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez including Ever Banega and long-term absentee Sergio Canales. Miguel and and Ricardo Costa both miss out through injury also, whilst Antonio Barragan is suspended.
Bruno is expected to replace the absent defender, whilst Victor Ruiz could be reinstated into Valencia's defence at the expense of Dealbert. Furthermore, Tino Costa is available following his suspension.
