Copa del Rey: Bilbao look to build on good form

Ernesto Valverde's in-form Bilbao side should be too strong for third-tier Alcoyano at the Campo Municipal El Collao.

After a slow start to the campaign, Bilbao have won five of their past seven in all competitions to find some form.

But Carlo Ancelotti's men are aiming for a 17th straight win in all competitions, having already set the club record at 16 with their win at Malaga on Saturday.

Atletico Madrid visit L'Hospitalet for the first leg of their tie, and Diego Simeone is likely to experiment.

Celta de Vigo go into their trip to Las Palmas on a three-match winless run, while the second division's Real Valladolid meet top-flight strugglers Elche.
