What They're Saying

Levante defender David Navarro (via Inside Spanish Football): "Valencia are favorites. For the points they have, for being third in La Liga and given their budget compared to ours, it's logical that the favorites to win the game will be Valencia; however, we've recovered our good sensations after beating Almería and the draw at Sevilla."

Valencia full-back Jose Luis Gaya (via Inside Spanish Football): "The derby is always a special game, but it's worth just three more points. We're working hard and I'm sure that if we go out there with plenty of intensity, we can get the win, but that won't be easy in the slightest, as Levante are coming into this on the back of three good games and games in which they've improved a lot."
