Arsenal seeks recovery from their loss to Tottenham as they prepare to face Villarreal. After victories over AC Milan and Newcastle, Arsenal faced an unexpected defeat, losing 1-0 to Tottenham due to Pape Sarr's goal. Key players for Arsenal include Viktor Gyokeres, who recently joined and is expected to start, and Noni Madueke, who is recovering from prior commitments. Injuries affect squad depth with several players unavailable. Mikel Arteta anticipates rigorous matches against Spanish teams, focusing on how they compete against varied styles that will be seen in the Premier League.
"Villarreal are playing at the highest level and have a manager in Marcelino who likes to play a very specific type of system and formation that we will find in the Premier League this season."
"Playing against Spanish opposition will require other things from us as well and I expect these to be really good games."
"When we arrange these pre-season matches, I always look at how the manager sets up his teams, how they coach their team, the kind of players they have, how they train different phases of play against different blocks."
