• Inaki Williams and Oscar De Marcos are both carrying minor injury problems, but the former is expected to start for Athletic Bilbao. Ander Iturraspe is another man out, although Benat and Mikel San Jose are always the first-choice central midfield partnership. Raul Garcia is one booking away from a one-match ban, with Kepa expected to continue in goal for the visitors.

• Dani Castellano is sidelined with a muscle problem, which should see Helder feature at left-back for Las Palmas. Kevin-Prince Boateng has a slight knock, but the Ghanaian is expected to still start on the left-hand side of the attack. Roque Mesa and David Garcia are one booking away from a suspension, while Sergio Araujo and Tana are still preferred to Marko Livaja and Nabil El Zhar in attack.

• Las Palmas are unbeaten in their last 10 league games at home, but have recently drawn three of their last four in Gran Canaria. Home and away in La Liga, Quique Setien’s men have won just one of their last eight fixtures, with that solitary three points coming in a narrow 1-0 home win over Eibar recently.

• Athletic Club are unbeaten in their last five games in all competition, winning three of their last four games in the process. Away from the Europa League, however, Ernesto Valverde’s men have only won once during their last four outings – and that was a home victory over Villarreal.

• Las Palmas have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against Athletic Club in all competitions.
