Miku/Guiza

Unai Emery may look to rest Adil Rami despite the fact that his two-game suspension is now over ahead of the Bayer Leverkusen game at midweek in the Champions League.

Several changes may be made to rest players, with the possibility of Aritz Aduriz starting in place of Roberto Soldado. Sergio Canales will of course miss much of the season with an achilles tendon injury.

For Luis Garcia's men, Miku will likely start up top, but Dani Guiza may get an opportunity in his place after bagging a brace as a substitute in their last game.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Valencia currently sit in fourth place in La Liga after downing Zaragoza 1-0 on Wednesday thanks to a late goal by Jordi Alba.
  • Emery's men have defeated Getafe three straight times.
  • Soldado, Dani Parejo and Pablo Hernandez all played for Getafe before playing for Valencia.
  • Getafe are in 16th place with seven points, coming off a 2-2 draw with Osasuna. 
  • Garcia's guys have drawn three consecutive games and have not won since the end of September.
  • While the majority of the top flight clubs were founded in the early 1900's, some with over 100 years of existence, Getafe were founded in 1983.

Prediction
Valencia should have no problem taking down Getafe, but they will need to be vigilant of the potent attack of the visitors as they look to keep things going ahead of their vital Champions League encounter midweek agaisnt Bayer Leverkusen.
