Lucas Perez has been a valuable asset while leading the attack for Alaves and has eight goals and two assists from 16 appearances this season.
Oscar Rodriguez with four goals in 15 league games can prove to be the danger man for Leganes.
Joselu with six goals in 15 appearances this season can also prove to be pivotal for Alaves in attack.
