Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Villarreal v Espanyol at the Estadio El Madrigal.

Full-time: Villarreal 0-0 Espanyol. Full of huff and puff, but no cutting edge.

CHANCE! Marco Ruben volley is palmed away by Franciso Casilla.

Sub for Villarreal, Jonathan De Guzman comes on for Borja Valero.

This has been a match full of running, endeavour and industry, just very little in the way of craft.

Kalu Uche's evening comes to an end as he makes way for Walter Pandiani.

Fourth from bottom Villarreal really need a win tonight... There's just no guile in their team.

Both teams have managed to maintain an incredible tempo to this game. Shame about the lack of goals...

Ruben puts the ball in the back of the net for Villarreal, but his celebrations are cut short when he realises he's offside.

Franciso Casilla benefits from the referee's generosity after dropping another corner. Never a foul, but the referee gives it.

Vladimir Weiss has looked bright this evening. Direct, plenty of pace and tricky. Just needs a better end product.

Actually after a few more viewings it looks like Forlin made no contact with the ball. Villarreal should have had a penalty.

Double change for Villarreal.... Angel Lopez replaces Marcos Senna and Alejandro Martinuccio comes on for Cani.

Fantastic challenge from Forlin on Valero in the box. The crowd want a penalty - it was a risky challenge - but the replay shows it was a well timed tackle.

Espanyol substitution, Sergio Garcia is replaced by Alvaro Vasquez.

Franciso Casilla races off his line to save at the feet of Marco Ruben.

Powerful, driving run from Cani raises a few bums out of seats, but ultimately ends in nothing.

Espanyol make a change - Javi Lopez comes off for Juan Forlin.

Villarreal claim they should have had a penalty for handball. Would have been harsh on Espanyol.

Cristian Gomez adds his name to the referee's book.

Lively start to the second half from both teams, just need a goal now....
