Team News

Arsenal
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.

Elneny is likely earn a start alongside Thomas Partey in midfield with Dani Ceballos suspended, while Calum Chambers, Emile Smith Rowe, Saka and Pepe should all earn recalls to the starting lineup too.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Leno; Chambers, Holding, Gabriel, Xhaka; Partey, Elneny; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Aubameyang
Arsenal Europa League form: WWLDWL
Arsenal form (all competitions): WWDLLW

Villarreal
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.

Albiol and Gerard Moreno were both rested against Getafe with this game in mind, and Geronimo Rulli will hope to displace Sergio Asenjo in goal once again.
Villarreal possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Gaspar, Albiol, Torres, Pedraza; Chukwueze, Parejo, Coquelin, Trigueros; Moreno, Bacca
Villarreal Europa League form: WWWWWW
Villarreal form (all competitions): WWLLWW

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Villarreal (3-3 aggregate, Arsenal to win on penalties)
