14'
And that'll be a second corner. Cleared upfield by the hosts. Still Villarreal press.
13'
Gaspar tries to dink the ball past Guilherme Siqueira. Comes off the Granada man for a corner.
12'
Ball over the top looking for the red and white shirt of Moises Hurtado. Carlos Marchena will have time to hook it away upfield.
11'
That's a swift counter by Granada down the left. Mario Gaspar slides in to clear the danger. Good defending.
10'
Villarreal have it again. Granada look content to sit back and wait for the visitors to come on to them.
9'
That's a long hopeful ball out of the Villarreal defence. Way too much on that one and that'll be a Granada goal kick.
7'
Plenty of joy down the Granada right so far for Villarreal as Roberto gathers another cross. Looks like Allan Nyom may have his work cut out tonight!

Early yellow card for Granada'a Carlos Martins after a knee-high flick at Cani. Cheap booking!
5'
Plenty of time for Villarreal to stroke it around at the back. That's a bit complacent but the visitors win it back.
4'
Played short and now in it comes, poor delivery, drifts out for a Granada goal kick.
4'
Teasing cross in from Cani, deflected out for a Villarreal corner.
3'
That's a solid challenge on Mateo Musacchio. Looked fair, but ref Estrada Fernandez thinks otherwise.
2'
And again the keeper can clear. Interesting that up front, Ikechukwu Uche is playing against his parent club while on loan to Granada.
1'
Neat interplay by the hosts down the visitors' right. No way through and that'll be an early touch all the way through fro Roberto Fernandez in the Granada goal.

And the teams are out. We'll be underway in seconds!
16:47
So with Villarreal keeper Diego López suspended for one match after being sent off against Sevilla, Cesar Sanchez comes in. Borja Valero also makes the starting XI after missing the Champions League match against Bayern Munich through suspension.

16:44
Hosts Granada have found La Liga tough going after two successive promotions and find themselves propping up the table. El Grana lost their opener 1-0 to Real Betis and were thumped 4-0 at Malaga last week.
16:43
Giuseppe Rossi's penalty cancelled out Sevilla's opener from Alvara Negredo Sanchez and Marco Ruben's 72nd minute goal looked set to take the points, only for Alexis Ruena Delgado to grab Sevilla a share of the spoils with four minutes remaining.
16:41
A tricky start at the Camp Nou saw Villarreal thrashed 5-0 by a rampant Barcelona in the delayed season opener. And Juan Carlos Garrida's side were denied all three points against Sevilla by a late leveller.
