Villarreal coach Juan Carlos Garrido believes tonight's clash with relegation-threatened Zaragoza is the biggest game his side will face this season.

Garrido said: “It's a match where we can take a giant step and define our chances of playing in the Champions League next season.”

The Yellow Submarine can close the gap to six points, with six games remaining, if they win their game-in-hand against Zaragoza.

Fourth-placed Villarreal were hammered 5-0 by Valencia last weekend to fall nine points behind Valencia, who hold the final automatic qualifying spot for next season’s Champions League.
