Villarreal boss Marcelino Garcia Toral has admitted that he is "worried" about facing Real Sociedad in La Liga this evening.

The Yellow Submarine suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in their last league match on their own patch, but returned to winning ways against Rayo Vallecano last week.

"It's true that I'm worried. We made some serious mistakes in our last home game," he told reporters at a press conference.

"We can't make those sorts of individual errors this time. Everybody makes mistakes – we're all human.

"But we have to keep them to a minimum. If we don't, Real Sociedad are going to beat us. They have a lot of quality in their squad."

Villarreal sit sixth in La Liga on 31 points, while Sociedad are one spot and one point above the newly-promoted side.
