What channel is Arsenal vs Villarreal? Live streaming details, TV channel, Kick-off time and team news

The UEFA Europa League is back with yet another high-octane semi-final fixture this week as Arsenal lock horns with Villarreal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday. Villarreal edged the Gunners to a 2-1 victory in Spain last week but will have to work hard to maintain their lead in the second leg.

Villarreal have been inconsistent over the past few weeks and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture. Unai Emery's side is more than capable of an upset at its best and the likes of Gerard Moreno and Carlos Bacca will be intent on making their mark in this fixture.

Arsenal have endured a dismal Premier League campaign this season and cannot afford to lose this game. The Gunners did score an away goal against Villarreal last week and will take plenty of heart from their victory against Newcastle United over the weekend.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
