Villarreal CF is set to host Celta on La Liga matchday 32 at the Estadio de la Cerámica, with potential squad rotations by coach Marcelino following a midweek fixture.

Following their participation in a game on Thursday, the Yellow Submarine could introduce new faces to their lineup. In goal, Luiz Junior is expected to return to the starting position, while on the right flank, Freeman might take over after his performance in the previous match.
The central defense could also see changes, with Rafa Marín as a potential starter, having played the entire second half in a recent game. The decision between Pau Navarro and Veiga to partner him might lean towards Navarro, who excelled in aerial play in the last encounter. On the left flank, Pedraza could return to the starting eleven.
In midfield, Thomas Partey and Comesaña are likely to form the starting duo. Comesaña returns from suspension, and Partey saw minutes after his injury. On the wings, Moleiro could start to rest Alfon, and Pépé would remain a key offensive player.
Finally, in attack, Mikautadze and Gerard Moreno are expected to be the two strikers, as Moreno rested on matchday 33 and had a strong prior performance.
