Arsenal will head to Spain on Thursday night to face Villarreal in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.
The Gunners impressively overcame Slavia Prague in the quarter-finals of the competition and will play the first leg of their last-four clash at Estadio de la Ceramica before welcoming the La Liga club to the Emirates Stadium for the return fixture on May 6.
Mikel Arteta's side will enter the match off the back of a disappointing result in the Premier League, suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Everton on Friday evening.
