Nuno "anxious" for points

Valencia boss Nuno has insisted that his team cannot take anything for granted as they prepare to host Granada on Monday evening.

Los Che have been knocked out of the top four in La Liga following Sevilla's win on Sunday, but victory against struggling Granada would see the former Spanish champions return to fourth.

"I expect [Granada] to be a tough team. They're anxious to get points, like we are. We know them well and we're ready for the match. I think the most important thing is our immediate performance," Nuno told reporters.

"We now have three games in six days. It's all perfectly planned and we're prepared, but each match will influence the decisions I make in the next one. What we want now is to remain the same team we've come to be, and that means our approach must be very similar to what it has been."

Valencia have only lost one of their 16 home league games this season and that came against Barcelona.
