Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Valencia could line up for Thursday's Copa del Rey quarter-final against Barcelona.

Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to drop out of Valencia's starting lineup for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash with Valencia at Mestalla.

Mamardashvili is the undisputed number one at Valencia, but Stole Dimitrievski has started each of the club's four Copa del Rey matches this season.

As it result, it seems likely that Carlos Corberan will give Dimitrievski the chance to line up between the posts for the quarter-final tie.

Dimitri Foulquier is one of a few Valencia players who complained about some discomfort following Sunday's win over Celta Vigo, but he will hope to shake off any knocks to take his place in the backline alongside Cesar Tarrega, Cristhian Mosquera and Jose Gaya.

Aston Villa loanee Enzo Barrenechea could continue in the middle of the park along with Javi Guerra, who will be looking to produce another strong display after registering a goal and an assist at the weekend.

Corberan could also keep faith with Diego Lopez, Andre Almeida and Luis Rioja, with the latter hoping to the five goals he has scored this season.

The Valencia boss will have to decide whether to stick with Hugo Duro as a number nine or to give Umar Sadiq the chance to trouble the Barcelona defence, with the former likely to get the nod for Thursday's home fixture.

Valencia possible starting lineup: Dimitrievski; Foulquier, Tarrega, Mosquera, Gaya; Guerra, Barrenchea; Lopez, Almeida, Rioja; Duro
