Valencia captain Toni Lato says Espanyol must not be underestimated.

VCF resume their LaLiga campaign against the Catalans.

Lato said, "The season has been inconsistent for Espanyol, but they are a good team and they use their strengths well. They have a good stadium and have their fans there, but this is a good time for us and we have to take advantage of that, continuing the good feeling that we have and taking the three points.

"We have to comply with the responsibility of playing with our style away from home. We identify a lot with the coach and what he asks of us, and we need to use that to take the three points.

"The stats are there to see. We're a very young side, but we are good teammates and professionals. There is an excitement that is transmitted by the younger players. We try to help all of the new arrivals in the first team and make them feel that they identify with us. I think that we're on our way with that, and that we have a spectacular group."
