Villarreal managed to reach the closing stages of the Champions League for the second time in the last few years but they face a difficult job against revived Arsenal. They did surprisingly well in Europe for such a small club and they were very close to reaching the Champions League final in 2006, when they were stopped by Arsenal in the semis.They are yet to lose a home game in the Champions League, thus Arsenal face a difficult task.The hosts will attack from the start and try to create a good advantage before the return leg.The Submarino Amarillo were losers on the weekend in their domestic match as they fell on the road to Almeria by a score of 3-0. The result was not the only bad news for the side managed by Manuel Pellegrini as influential player Santi Cazorla suffered a fractured leg during the match and he will miss the rest of the present campaign.  However, midfielders Senna and Cani have recovered and they will be fit to play, whereas Ibagaza and Former Gunner Pires returns from a domestic suspension. Rossi and Nihat are likely to start up front.


Arsenal  had a very slow start to the season, but they have shown a lot of improvement lately and their good run in form couldn’t have come in a better time as the Gunners still have a good chance for silverware  both domestically and in Europe. They have leapfrogged  Villa to 4th place, and had  eliminated Roma from the top European competition. The atmosphere in the team is great at the moment, especially as Walcott, Adebayor and Fabregas have recovered from injuries and that was a big boost for the team. Adebayor scored the two goals they won Man city with, and Captain Fabregas made both assists . The Gunners won the last four games in all competitions and they enter this match in great spirits. Arshavin is not eligible to play, Van Persie, Eduardo and Diaby are also out, but Nasri could recover in time to face Villarreal.The Gunners will adopt attacking approach and try to score an away goal, which would help them a great deal in the return leg.
The Gunners are doing great lately and they will have some very important players back for this clash, which makes them the favourites to go through.

Mukiiiii - we are winning this - 100% sure.

3 - 1 is my predos in the Gunners Favor

I wish the gunners thje best---------if they can squeeze out a win in spain---then it will be great---both teams play same style(kind of) ALL THE BEST TO ARSENAL    !!   villareal 0 arsenal 2



meanwhile villareal lost 0-3 at the weekend hope this is a good omen for the gunners

Come the hour, come the man! Cake walk for the guys with the gun 2_0, L'arse!

almunia should watch out 4 macos senna nd his powerful shots,and also italian striker-rossi. but i think d match would end in a 1-1 draw

Come the hour, come the man! Cake walk for the guys with the gun 2_0, L'arse!

Football is not mathematics & anything can happen in a minute but i expect d GUNNERS 2 GUN them down if not, a draw.

No vex. . . . .  i jus dey speak my mind!

Ok by the time they are through with you . . .

no hating on the Gunners

Arsenal will be taught a football lesson tomorrow. They are poor on the road. When last did arsenal beat a good team on the road. Arsenal's away record in the past few years read:
Roma 1 Arsenal 0
Fenebache 2 Arsenal 5
Porto 2 Arsenal 0
Dinamo Kiev 1 Arsenal 1
Liverpool 4 Arsenal 2
Ac Milan 0 Arsenal 2
Sevilla 3 Arsenal 1
Slavia Prague 0 Arsenal 0
Steaua Bucharest 0 Arsenal 1


making it 4 losses,2 wins and 2 draws in their last 8 away visits.

Arsenal will lose 3-1 to the yellow submarines.

Can somebody tell the Submarino Amarillo(i love that name) that they are nothing but yellow sitting ducks.(can't translate that to Spanish)

.

Am not expecting nothing less than a draw. Forget away records because anything can happen in soccer & what will haters says when we GUN THEM DOWN 3-0?

A 1-0 win for villareal. Tie might be decided at the Emirates.

Good Spirit Faithfuls, its Decision Day. Tonight's game would determine if we are going to be in the finals.

Bro n Sis, sing the L'arse song all day long at work/sch/home.

my predos 3 - 1 to the AW side.
Ade/walcot 11th mins
Fab4 30mins
villa boy scores 55m
RVP/Nasri/Ade 76th min

93mins - the Ref blows and the commentator would say 'its game over,Arsenal are thru to the semis'

Gunners 1800

Villareal 2 - Arsenal 0

Villareal 0 Arsenal 4

Villareal 0 Arsenal 2

Its going to be a tight game but i predict the result will be a draw,a scoring draw will do us good.

CONFIRMED Arsenal line up!


Arsenal (4-5-1): Almunia;

Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy;

Walcott, Denilson, Fabregas, Song, Nasri;

Adebayor

ahahhha, eyonigger- 1-0, my willl shall be done.

Hey guys, Arsenal is giving me a course to worry. Just as they are not going anywhere in the EPL, I see them doing same in the UCL.

Villareal 1 : 0 Arsenal (10 Minutes)
