What a vibrant opening twenty minutes to this match, the only mystery is how it is still goalless. Javi Marquez is controlling the match from the middle, displaying his impressive passing repertoire, but the truth is both sides have an enormous amount of quality in midfield. Borja Valero and Cani both look dangerous for Villarreal, while Guiseppe Rossi is always capable of nicking a goal or two.
Espanyol Vs Villarreal: Both Teams Intent On Attacking
Sergio Garcia has started upfront for Espanyol as Pochettino reverts to a 4-5-1, and the Catalan strikers pace is causing Villarreal a huge amount of problems. Already he has been sent one-one-one against Diego Lopez, and while the keeper has got the better of the striker so far, one chance a couple of minutes ago saw Sergio Garcia send a superb strike against the post from just outside the area.
There is no doubt this is going to be an exciting match as the two sides look to confirm themselves as the best of the rest!
