Celta Vigo will welcome Espanyol to Balaídos on Sunday with sights on a bounce-back result. After rattling off six wins from seven across all competitions, the Galician outfit were brought back down to earth by way of a hard-fought 3-2 defeat at Ludogorets on Thursday.
Manager Claudio Giráldez is for his part expected to ring the changes for the fixture, rotating almost his entire XI for the return to domestic action.
Celta currently sit 11th in the La Liga table, five points adrift of their upcoming opponents.
