Sporting Gijon
- Alberto is expected to continue in between the sticks, with Ivan Cuellar still struggling with a minor injury problem.
- Guerrero and Tony Sanabria will battle it out for a starting spot up front, with the latter edging back into contention after a spell on the sidelines.
- Alen Halilovic will continue in the number 10 role, after enjoying a fantastic month in the first-team frame for Sporting.
Granada
- Doria and Lomban should partner up at the heart of the defence, with Diego Mainz back in contention after injury.
- Edgar Mendez is a doubt, with few selection surprises expected from the visitors.
- Thievy should be fit to play a part. Isaac Success and Ruben Rochina should be deployed out wide, with Javi Marquez asked to take up a position ahead of Ruben Perez and Rene Krhin.
