Inaki Williams - Attempts 12 crosses Williams had two shots (zero on goal), 12 crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Getafe.

Oscar De Marcos - Attempts eight crosses De Marcos recorded eight crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Getafe.
