Villarreal will invite Celta Vigo to Estadio de la Cerámica in La Liga on Monday. Both teams have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign.
The hosts were held to a 2-2 draw by Atletico Madrid in their campaign opener, with their top scorer from last season Alexander Sørloth scoring the equalizing goal in his debut for the capital club. They improved upon that performance on Saturday as goals from Arnaut Danjuma and Ayoze Pérez helped them record a 2-1 away win over Sevilla.
The visitors won their campaign opener 2-1 against Deportivo Alaves and continued their impressive form on Friday as they registered a comfortable 3-1 win over Valencia. Captain Iago Aspas was on the scoresheet in both games.
