Iker Muniain - Assists teammate in draw Muniain had one assist, two shots (one on goal), six crosses, one foul, created three chances and sustained four fouls in the 1-1 draw with Villarreal on Saturday.
Impact The first half belonged to the defense, until Muniain found Raul Garcia in the 43rd minute for the first goal of the match. The forward has gone four consecutive appearances since he assisted a goal, but maybe the drought is over, and he could log another assist against Celta Vigo.

Raul Garcia - Scores once against Villarreal Garcia had one goal on one shot, one cross, two tackles, one foul and sustained one foul in the 1-1 draw with Villarreal on Saturday.
Impact Just before the first half was called, Garcia managed to score his side's only goal with the assist from Iker Muniain in the 43rd minute. The forward has been on a five game scoring drought, and it remains to be seen if he will score again in the next match against Celta Viga.

Unai Simon - Makes five saves in draw Simon had five saves and conceded one goal in the 1-1 draw with Villarreal on Saturday.
Impact Though his side went up early, Simon gave up that lead to an Alfonso Pedraza goal in the 60th minute. While the keeper has been playing well, he hasn't logged a clean sheet in his last six appearances. It is unlikely he will do so against Celta Vigo.

Mikel Vesga - Comes off injured against Villarreal Vesga was subbed out of Saturday's draw against Villarreal in the 27th minute after suffering an apparent injury.
Impact The severity of Vesga's injury is unclear at the moment, but he was replaced by Alex Petxarroman in midfield on Saturday. The return of Dani Garcia from a groin injury will also relieve pressure on Vesga to rush whatever potential recovery he may require.
