For Espanyol, Gerard Moreno is an injury absentee which would mean that Felipe Caicedo could start as a striker. Victor Sanchez is unavailable for the game after picking up two yellow cards in the last game. Jose Canas is all set to replace him.
For Granada, Doria and Miguel Lopes are both available for selection after finishing their suspension ban. Doria would come back at centre-back while Lopes should start at right-back for the visitors. Ruben Perez is an injury absentee and Fran Rico could replace him in midfield.

Prediction
Espanyol have only managed to pick up three points in their last four games in La Liga. Their solitary win game against Real Betis. This bad run halted what has been a very good start for the Catalan outfit. They would be desperate to get back to winning ways.
Granada, on the other hand, is currently at the bottom of the La Liga table. They would, however, take comfort from the fact that they have drawn their last three consecutive games. But, they were unable to keep a clean sheet in their last five La Liga outings and don’t look good enough to change that.
It could be a draw or the home side could come out trumps.
