Athletic Club will be looking to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they host relegation-threatened Celta Vigo at San Mames for Friday night's La Liga clash.
The Basque giants edged Villarreal to a crucial 3-2 victory in their most recent La Liga encounter courtesy of goals from Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Nicholas Williams and Inaki Williams. Ernesto Valverde's side sit in fifth position in the league, two points ahead of biggest rivals Sociedad, and are unbeaten in five games at home.
A Friday night matchup against a struggling Celta side serves the hosts very well as they look to catch up to Atletico Madrid and close the four-point gap to the top four.
The visitors are still stuck on only one league win for the season, with a tally of seven points from 12 matches leaving them down in 18th position in the table, two points from safety. Rafael Benitez's side will enter this match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Sevilla last weekend.

Celta Vigo team news
Celta have lost points twice in the last two games thanks to conceding goals in the last ten minutes. Head coach Rafael Benitez has insisted that his side has been hard done by at times but recognises that his talented squad will need to be able to see out more games to stay in La Liga.
