The Europa League final awaits!
Semi-final second legs
Arsenal Vs Villarreal
The Europa League novice in Mikel Arteta was undone by serial winner Emery in the first leg last week, and Villarreal should have been out of sight after a totally dominant first-half performance, but Pepe’s second-half spot-kick means that the Gunners’ season is not done and dusted just yet.
Villarreal travel to North London on a nine-game winning streak in the Europa League, during which they have scored at least two goals on seven separate occasions, and a 1-1 draw away at Maccabi Tel Aviv represents the only time in this season’s tournament where the Yellow Submarine have failed to come up trumps.
Incredibly, Villarreal have won their last four Europa League games away from home without shipping a single goal, and they have only failed to progress in one of their last 16 European ties when winning the first leg, but that was to English opposition in Liverpool during the 2015-16 Europa League campaign.

Arteta remained coy when pressed for updates on Kieran Tierney and Alexandre Lacazette, but both players have been pictured in training and have a chance of being available the second leg.
David Luiz was taken off at Newcastle with a suspected hamstring problem, and while Arteta has not ruled him out of this game, Rob Holding is expected to return to the defence as Gabriel Magalhaes hopes to keep his spot over Pablo Mari.
Etienne Capoue was being stretchered off the field when the referee brandished a red card to the former Tottenham Hotspur man, and his spot in midfield should be filled by ex-Gunner Francis Coquelin.
Spurs loanee Juan Foyth impressed on the right-hand side in the first leg before being forced off with a hamstring issue, and he joins Vicente Iborra in the visitors’ treatment room, but Emery has no fresh concerns from the weekend.

Villarreal have progressed from 15 of their 16 two-legged ties in major European competition when winning the first leg - the only exception was in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League semi-final, when they went out to Liverpool despite winning the first leg.

Arsenal are without a win in their last two home games in European competition (D1 L1), after winning 11 out of 13 before that, with the Gunners hoping to avoid going three on home soil without victory in Europe for the first time since September 2003 (6 games).
