Surprise package Girona will be aiming to return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Valencia.
The hosts were knocked off top spot by Real Madrid last weekend and were unable to return to the summit, as they drew 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao on Monday, while Valencia also shared the points with Celta Vigo in their last game, drawing 0-0 with Rafael Benitez's side on Saturday.
The Catalan outfit have still enjoyed a stunning campaign to date, winning 11, drawing two and losing one of their 14 league matches to collect 35 points, and they are only second in the table to Real Madrid on the head-to-head record, having lost 3-0 to Los Blancos at the end of September.
The White and Reds finished 10th in La Liga last season, which is their highest-ever spot at this level, so the club are very much on course to create some history in 2023-24.
Michel's side will be in Copa del Rey action on December 7 against Orihuela, before the small matter of a trip to Barcelona in La Liga, and it is an interesting period of the campaign for the club, as they will then take on Alaves and Real Betis in Spain's top flight ahead of the winter break.
