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

The UEFA Europa League returns to the fold with a set of semi-final fixtures this week as Arsenal lock horns with Villarreal at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Thursday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove going into this game.

Villarreal currently find themselves in seventh place in the La Liga standings at the moment and will need to win this game. The Yellow Submarines suffered a damaging defeat against Catalan giants Barcelona in their previous game and will need to be at their best in this fixture.

Arsenal have endured a dismal Premier League campaign so far and will view the Europa League as an opportunity to salvage the remainder of their campaign. The Gunners suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Everton over the weekend and cannot afford another calamity in this match.

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. 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.
