Villarreal will be aiming to make it four wins in a row in La Liga when they travel to Las Palmas on Saturday evening.
Marcelino's side are currently fifth in La Liga, four points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao, while Las Palmas are 15th, two points above the relegation zone in Spain's top flight.
Latest Las Palmas vs Villarreal team information
Las Palmas will welcome Dario Essugo back to the squad after suspension, but Jaime Mata is currently unavailable due to the yellow card he picked up after coming on as a substitute against Girona last time out.
Sandro Ramirez, Adnan Januzaj and Marvin Park all have late fitness tests, while Jose Campana is absent with a hamstring problem.
Essugo is expected to return to Las Palmas' midfield for this game, but his arrival could be the only change, with on-loan striker Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers expected to continue leading the line.
For Villarreal, Alfonso Pedraza and Ilias Akhomach will be unavailable for selection due to long-term knee injuries, but the visitors are in good shape for the game against Las Palmas.
Thierno Barry's goal off the bench against Real Valladolid could earn him a place in attack, while there will be another starting spot for Perez, who is the club's top scorer this season with 12 goals.
Alex Baena was another impressive performer, with five goals and five assists in 21 appearances, and the Spaniard will feature on the left wing, while Willy Kambwala will retain his place in central defence.

Latest football review Las Palmas vs Villarreal
Las Palmas' winless run in all competitions was extended to five games on Monday night, as they suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Girona, with the result leaving them 15th in La Liga, just two points above the relegation zone.
Diego Martinez's side have a record of 6 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses from 22 league games this season, and they are level on 23 points with 16th-placed Leganes and 17th-placed Espanyol.
Pio Pio finished 16th in La Liga last season, and they are bidding to make it three consecutive campaigns at this level of football for the first time since 2018.
La Union Deportiva have picked up 13 points from 11 home league games in the 2024-25 campaign, but they will welcome a Villarreal side with the fifth-best away record, having picked up 18 points from 11 away games.
Las Palmas actually beat Villarreal 3-0 in the corresponding fixture between the two sides last season, but the Yellow Submarine recorded a 3-1 win when the two faced each other in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Meanwhile, Villarreal beat Real Valladolid 5-1 in their last La Liga game, with five different players scoring, including Ayoze Perez, who is looking to put his recent injury problems behind him to lead the race for the top four.
Marcelino's side opened 2025 with a 1-0 away defeat to Real Sociedad, but they have taken seven points from their last three games, beating Villarreal and Real Valladolid, scoring nine goals in the process, before and after a 1-1 away draw with Atletico Madrid.
Villarreal are the third-highest scorers in La Liga this season, finding the net 44 times, but they have conceded 33 goals, and their defensive record could cost them any chance of finishing in the top four.
The Yellow Submarine have not finished fourth in Spain's top flight since 2015-16, so there's plenty on the line this season and the fact they're out of European football could give them the edge over Europa League side Athletic Bilbao.
Villarreal have won just one of their last six away games in all competitions, but they did pick up an excellent point away from home against second-placed Atletico in their most recent away game on January 25.
