20'
Another unconvincing punch from Gulli but his clearance is completed by Albiol.
17'
Rulli not with the most convincing punch from an Arsenal corner but he gets it out of danger. He hasn't been troubled at all so far.
15'
Trigueros tries to play through Alcacer but his pass is too firm.
13'
Partey hits a pretty firm and bouncy backpass to Leno but the goalkeeper dealt with it admirably.
9'
Chukwueze left Pepe on his backside on the right flank but Mari did well to curb his run on the edge of his box.
6'
Fine effort from Chukwueze who comes in from the right flank and hits a vicious curling effort which Leno parries over.
2'
Pepe forces an early corner.

Villareal get us underway...
19:59
Late team news with Tierney in for Xhaka, who was injured in the warm up, at left back. Could be good news if he can last the 90 minutes.
19:59
The teams are out and ready to go...
19:52
Can Pepe deliver once more in the Champion's League?
19:43
An interesting betting market for tonight's game. Arsenal are 5/6 to win the match but Villareal 4/6 to qualify. The Gunners are 11/10 to make another all-English final.
19:35
How crucial will this save prove to be at the end of tonight's play.
19:29
Two changes for Villareal as well, with Gaspar and Coquelin coming in for Foyth and the suspended Capoue.
19:24
Bellerin and Aubameyang for Chambers and Ceballos the changes for Arsenal. Tierney and Lacazette are fit enough to be on the bench.
19:18
Maybe the most memorable Uefa Cup (Europa in old money) Final occurred back in 1998 - an all-Italian encounter dominated by an other-worldly Brazilian.
19:10
Here are all Arsenal's goals in the tournament this year. Just one of these needed tonight, so long as Leno keeps a clean sheet.
19:00
And this is the Villareal side are protecting the slender 2-1 advantage from the first leg...
18:58
This is how the Gunners will line up...
