Valencia rests star striker David Silva for European opener

Valencia coach Unai Emery will ring the changes for tonight's Europa League opener against Lille despite seeing his side make it four wins on the bounce at the weekend.

Los Che have been in fine recent form both domestically and on the continent, thrashing Stabaek 7-1 to make it through to the group stages of the Europa League and then netting six more goals in defeating Sevilla and Real Valladolid in their opening two La Liga outings. However, Emery will freshen things up for the game in Lille with at least a couple of changes to the side that downed Valladolid 4-2 on Sunday.
