Reus team news
Up front, Reus are expected to once again rely on Ricardo Vaz, who has been their danger man this season. The 31-year-old has already hit six goals in 12 outings and found the net in the previous round, making him their biggest attacking threat. Aitor Serrano and Xavi Jaime should join him in the forward areas, while Sergi Casals appears locked in as a key figure in the defensive line.
Real Sociedad team news
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, come into the tie with a worryingly long list of absentees; Yangel Herrera, Orri Oskarsson, Mikel Oyarzabal, Inaki Ruperez and Jon Karrikaburu are all sidelined.
Head coach Francisco is expected to rotate heavily from the side that faced Villarreal, with Arsen Zakharyan, Mikel Goti Lopez and Benat Turrientes all likely to be drafted into the starting XI. There will also be a shake-up in goal, with Unai Marrero poised to make just his second appearance of the season between the sticks.
