Good afternoon and welcome to Mail Sport's live blog as Arsenal host Villarreal at the Emirates Stadium in their latest pre-season friendly.
The LaLiga side will offer Arsenal their latest 'test', as Mikel Arteta likes to refer to their pre-season friendlies, ahead of the new campaign.
Arsenal fans will be keen to get a first hand glimpse of several new faces brought in during the transfer window.
In particular Viktor Gyokeres will be of keen interest after his brief cameo appearance against Tottenham in their last match on the Far East tour.
One suspects the forward, who will be charged with helping to fire Arsenal to the title, will get a lot more action this afternoon.
