Arsenal’s friendly against Villarreal, set to take place at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, is expected to serve as a key evaluation point for Arteta to assess the players who are making a return from injury, like Gabriel and Timber. The Gunners will follow up that clash with another home fixture, this time in the Emirates Cup on August 9, where they are scheduled to face Athletic Club, before beginning their campaign against Man Utd at Old Trafford on August 17.
