UEL: Arsenal Set To Host Villarreal For The 2nd Leg Of The Semi-Final On Thursday 6th May, 2021.

Arsenal come into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory at Newcastle United on the weekend in the English Premier League. Newcastle were extremely disappointing but it was an important win for Arsenal who are currently sitting ninth in the table.

It was their first win in 4 matches in all competitions having previously lost at home against Everton in the Premier League, lost at Villarreal in the Europa League and been held to a 1-1 draw at home against Fulham, also in the Premier League.

Villarreal travel to London having recorded a 1-0 home win over Getafe in La Liga on the weekend. It was an important victory for Villarreal who are aiming to finish in the Europa League qualifying places this season.

It was a second successive victory for the club following the 2-1 home win over Arsenal in the first leg of this Europa League tie. Villarreal have a tremendous record in this competition and they have won each of their last 9 Europa League games and remained undefeated in their last 13 matches.

Arsenal will be without midfielder Daniel Ceballos who is suspended following his red card last week. Alexandre Lacazette and Kieran Tierney are both doubts due to injury.

Villarreal also have a man suspended following the dismissal of midfielder Etienne Capoue in the first leg. Defender Juan Foyth is the only other player unavailable for the visitors.

PREDICTION: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
