Villarreal

Garrido has warned his in-form squad to expect the newly-promoted team to make it tough and says they will need to give it 100 per cent to take all three points.

The Alicante-based club signed ex-Juventus striker David Trezeguet and Paraguayan hitman Nelson Valdez from Borussia Dortmund in the summer and have scored some impressive results already in the Spanish top flight.

“They’ve made a great investment with the signing of top players,” said Garrido.

“The only way to win on their pitch is by giving a 100 per cent, because they are a good group and have some big stars.”

The coach hinted at an unchanged side, which means strike partners Nilmar and Giuseppe Rossi will continue up front.

He said: “It’s important to continue with the group and give a chance to players who have earned it in practice.

“We have a unit that works well, but there are players who can feel entitled to a starting place.”

The front two have combined for 11 goals between them this season and both names were on the scoresheet in Villarreal’s 2-0 win over racing Santander before the international break.

Hercules have managed only five goals this season, but did pull off a shock 2-0 win away to Barcelona and a 2-0 home win over Sevilla recently (4/5 Yes – Both Teams To Score).
