Osasuna
Osasuna have two changes in the balance following the defeat at Deportivo La Coruña. Sergio Herrera, given his first start in goal in that match, is contesting the goalkeeper's jersey with Aitor Fernández, who had started the previous four matches. Up front, Raúl Moro also made his first start of the run and remains in competition with Rubén García for a place in the attack.
Aimar Oroz and Jorge Herrando could return this weekend after hamstring and muscle problems respectively. Romain Del Castillo is doubtful too, with a groin problem. Osasuna sit 15th with 11 points.
Athletic Bilbao
Athletic Bilbao will again be without Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta, who misses out through a hamstring injury after starting four of the last five matches. Peio Canales and Beñat Gerenabarrena are set to continue in his absence through the middle. Dani Vivian has taken over from Aitor Paredes and looks set to retain the role, with Paredes having not featured in the win over Real Sociedad after starting four of the last five games.
Iñaki Williams has started four of the last five matches but has been withdrawn before full time in each of them. Gorka Guruzeta is doubtful because of a knee problem, and Unai Eguíluz remains out with a knee injury of his own. Hugo Rincón is in line to continue at right-back ahead of Johaneko Louis-Jean.
