Espanyol were enjoying a four-game unbeaten streak in La Liga before their match with Real Sociedad last weekend, where they were beaten 2-1.
Sitting just one point above the relegation zone, Espanyol find themselves in a tight battle at the bottom of the table, as only two points separate 19th-placed Alaves from 15th-placed Las Palmas.
To make matters worse, the White and Blues have been defeated in their last three meetings with Athletic Bilbao.
