Valencia boss Nuno Santo has made three changes to his team for tonight's Champions League clash against Zenit St Petersburg.

The Spanish side can secure their place in the last 16 this evening if they beat the Russian side and Genk fail to overcome Lyon in the other Group H match.

Aleksandr Anyukov and Javi Garcia are not in the Zenit squad this evening due to suspension, while Viktor Fayzulin is out with a knee injury.
