Valverde will probably play his strongest side in Riazor with Andres Iniesta, who is expected to announce his departure from the Camp Nou on Friday, given pride of place, while at the same time being protected ahead of the 'Clasico' against Real Madrid the following weekend.

The round of matches kicks off with Levante at home to Sevilla with a draw being enough to assure Levante are a top-flight next season as it would put them 12 points clear of Deportivo and with a superior goal difference.

Sevilla coach Vincenzo Montella clung onto his job by his fingertips following the Cup defeat, and anything other than a win will see him sacked.

Real Madrid will probably rest players against Leganes as they look to the return leg of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich next Tuesday.

Meanwhile Athletic Club Bilbao defender Inigo Martinez can expect a hostile reception when he returns to face his former club Real Sociedad in the Basque derby, just four months after leaving 'La Real' to join their local rivals.

Saturday ends with Villarreal at home to Celta Vigo in a game which would strengthen Villarreal's top-six position but end Celta's chances of qualifying for Europe in the result of a home win.

Getafe would also take a step towards a surprise European qualification if they can win at home to Girona on Sunday, while Valencia can assure a top-four finish and Champions League football next season if they beat Eibar in the Mestalla Stadium.
