Spanish La Liga match at the Estadio de la Cerámica on April 2.
Current Form
The Yellow Submarine emerged as 3-0 winners over CA Osasuna away on March 19 and they are undefeated in their last four matches in the league.
Villarreal are also undefeated in their last two matches at home having recorded one draw and one win at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
On the other hand, Sociedad claimed a 2-0 win over Elche CF at home on March 19 as they extended their unbeaten run to three matches in La Liga.

What Is At Stake
Villarreal are in the race to finish in the top four and they are currently placed sixth on the league standings - seven points behind fourth-placed Sociedad.
A victory over Sociedad would see Villarreal boost their top four hopes, but White and Blues are also dreaming of playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Sociedad will be determined to record a win over Villarreal in order to cement their spot in the top four with 11 matches left.
Team News
Francis Coquelin is the only Villarreal player who is out injured at the moment and the team has no suspension concerns coming into this game.
While Sociedad also have no suspension worries, but Umar Sadiq, Aritz Elustondo and Martín Merquelanz are currently out injured.
Key Players
Jose Morales is one of the Yellow Submarine's star players having scored the most goals (six) for the team in the league this season and he will be keen to help his side secure a win at home.
On the other hand, Alexander Sorloth is Sociedad's dangerman having hit the back of the net nine times in the league this term and he will be eager to add to his tally when he faces Villarreal.
