For the Europa League contenders, Roberto Soldado, fresh from his first call-up to the Spain national team since 2007, will likely be in the starting XI after coming on as a substitute on Thursday.
On the injury front, Sergio Canales and Hedwiges Maduro are still recovering from serious problems and will not feature, while Miguel is set to miss a month after suffering an injury to his right leg last weekend. With the recent bizare damage to Ever Banega, the Argentine will miss the rest of the season and Tino Costa looks to replace him.
For Sevilla, the team looks fairly healthy entering the contest, though Gary Medel, Ivan Rakitic, Frederic Kanoute and Federico Fazio practiced separate from the rest of the team early in the week, but they are all expected to be fit for the contest.
However, the mid-table side will be without the services of defender Alexis, who was sent out on loan to Getafe until June.

- Valencia currently sit in third place in La Liga with 40 points, seven ahead of Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao.
- On Thursday, a goal from Jonas saw Los Che defeat Stoke City in the second leg of their Europa Leage round-of-32 clash. The Spaniards advanced 2-0 on aggregate.
- In their last four games, Emery's side have kept three clean sheets, two coming against the English side in cup play.
- Sevilla, who sit in 11th place in the league with 29 points, are only four away from fourth.
