ExplainedHow two Liverpool players could meet in a La Liga derby this season

Elliott and Ndukwe are on loan with Valencia and Levante respectively for the 2026-27 campaign – and, therefore, may play against each other in Derbi del Turia.

That is the term commonly used in Spain when referring to matches between the two major clubs in the city of Valencia.

The sides are currently scheduled to meet at Ciutat de Valencia, the home of Levante, on the weekend of January 2-3 and Mestalla, Valencia’s stadium, on March 6-7.

Last season, Valencia won both derbies (1-0 at home and 2-0 away).
