Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Villarreal could line up for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash with Arsenal.

Villarreal manager Unai Emery only has one injury concern to work around for his side's Europa League semi-final first leg with Arsenal on Thursday.

The Yellow Submarine remain without midfielder Vicente Iborra as he recuperates from a knee problem, but they are otherwise in good shape before Emery renews hostilities with Arsenal.

With Iborra sidelined, Dani Parejo and Etienne Capoue should pair up in midfield, meaning that ex-Arsenal man Francis Coquelin will have to make do with a spot among the replacements.

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Juan Foyth is in line to start on the right, and having made his comeback from injury against Barcelona, Pervis Estupinan could displace Alberto Moreno on the left.

Samuel Chukwueze opened the scoring in their 2-1 defeat to Barcelona and will provide an attacking threat down the right, while Manu Trigueros should feature on the opposite side despite seeing red at the weekend.

Up top, Gerard Moreno will feel confident of adding to his tally of 26 goals across all competitions this season, and he has registered a goal or assist in his last six Europa League games.

Villarreal possible starting lineup:
Asenjo; Foyth, Albiol, Torres, Estupinan; Chukwueze, Parejo, Capoue, Trigueros; Moreno, Alcacer
