Racing Santander2–1Espanyol

Espanyol coach Manolo González faces a Santander trip that could settle his future

Espanyol have taken one point from their last four league games and sit a point above the relegation places, and this visit to El Sardinero is the first of three consecutive away fixtures in a defining week.

Trabzonspor2–0Besiktas

Beşiktaş winger Václav Černý injured his knee and is unlikely to face Trabzonspor

He was withdrawn in the first half of the 2-1 home win over Kocaelispor on 11 October and is not expected back in time for the derby.

Derby County0–1Stoke City

Derby's left-back options run thin before Stoke's visit to Pride Park

Injuries have left Derby without a specialist senior left-back, with Charlie Taylor, Murkin and Forsyth out and Max Johnston also sidelined. Winger Ryan Hedges covered there against Wrexham, and the shortage is set to shape John Eustace's selection at home to Stoke.

Thun0–1Hajduk Split

Thun lose suspended midfielder Patrik Kristal for the Hajduk visit

Kristal started the matchday-one defeat at Twente and was sent off there, so the ban takes a Conference League starter out of Thun's midfield for the visit of Hajduk.

Pogon Szczecin4–3Radomiak Radom

John Carver, Radomiak's third coach this season, brings his high press to Szczecin

Carver took over in early October with Radomiak in the relegation places, and his pressing side meets a Pogoń team that is content to defend without the ball, so the two approaches will be tested against each other.

Willem II1–6Cambuur Leeuwarden

Willem II appoint interim coach Adrie Koster after sacking John Stegeman

Koster, the club's 71-year-old technical adviser, was put in charge on 21 October and is expected to lead the team against Cambuur, with Danny Schenkel and Pim Hendrix assisting him.

Exeter City2–1Fleetwood Town

Fleetwood head coach Matt Lawlor wants an immediate answer to the Cheltenham collapse

Lawlor apologised to the fans who travelled to see his side go 3-0 down inside the first half and lose 4-2, and the trip to St James Park is the first opportunity to show the response he promised.

Granada2–1Real Valladolid

Valladolid's Juanmi Latasa misses the Granada trip with a left-knee ligament sprain

Latasa is unavailable for Friday's opener at Los Cármenes, and Escribá spent his pre-match answers on how Valladolid cope up front without him.
