Arsenal will meet their Spanish counterpart, Villarreal, in an anticipated friendly match as part of both teams’ preparations for the new season.

Artificial intelligence analysis suggests that the match will end 3-1 in Arsenal’s favor, as they are better prepared physically and technically than Villarreal, who are suffering from administrative and technical instability. Furthermore, the Gunners are playing at home, which is a strong motivation for victory.

Under the leadership of manager Arteta, Arsenal is seeking a victory against Villarreal to start the new Premier League season strongly.

The two teams have played six matches, with three draws, two wins for Arsenal, and only one loss for Villarreal.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Arsenal vs Villarreal is scheduled for a 6pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

The game will take place at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs Villarreal prediction

After falling at the hands of Spurs in their previous fixture, the Gunners will be very hopeful of putting things right against an uninspiring Villarreal side who are winless in six games during pre-season

Arteta has an array of attacking talent to choose from, so you can expect goals from players eager to make an impression in front of the home fans against a team who have holes in their defence.

Arteta’s men may also be eyeing a measure of revenge following their Europa League heartbreak at the hands of the Yellow Submarine four years ago.

Arsenal to win, 3-1

German star Thomas Müller participated in group training with his former club Bayern Munich on Tuesday, as he seeks to maintain his fitness before deciding his future.

Videos broadcast by Sky Sports showed the 35-year-old training regularly with the Bavarian team, after having conducted individual training at the club’s stadium last week.

Müller’s return to Bayern training comes as he prepares for a potential move to the Canadian club Vancouver Whitecaps, which plays in the Major League Soccer.

Müller did not renew his contract with Bayern Munich, which expired this summer, bringing an end to a long career with the club, during which he won numerous titles, including the historic treble in 2013 and 2020, in addition to winning the 2014 World Cup with the German national team.

Brazilian star Rodrygo is close to leaving Real Madrid during the current summer transfer window, given the offensive momentum being relied upon by new coach Xabi Alonso.

According to the Spanish newspaper “AS,” the transfer of South Korean Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur opened the door for the English club to move towards signing Rodrygo, especially given the increased space available on the wage bill.

The newspaper indicated that Son was earning €11 million annually, and with his departure, Spurs’ management can allocate this amount towards a new deal. Rodrygo is the most prominent option to replace Son.

The report added that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is seeking to negotiate with Real Madrid to reduce the deal’s value.

The coming days are expected to determine Rodrygo’s final destination, amid growing speculation that he could move to Tottenham to become the team’s most prominent star after the departures of Harry Kane and Son.

Arancha Rodriguez, a journalist, revealed that Real Madrid’s management does not intend to make any new signings during the remainder of the summer transfer window, a move that reflects their complete confidence in the current squad under new coach Xabi Alonso.

The newspaper added that Xabi Alonso will have to adapt to what is available, as the management believes the team is now complete in all aspects, especially after years of gradual work to build a balanced midfield capable of competing at the highest levels.

The challenge now facing Alonso is how to best utilize this group and achieve the desired harmony between the experienced and young players in what is expected to be a challenging season.

It is worth noting that Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Álvaro Carreras, Franco Mastrantuono, and Dean Howsen this summer.

Argentine Alejandro Garnacho, the Manchester United player, has decided on his next destination if he leaves Old Trafford, according to press reports.

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on his X account on Sunday: “Alejandro Garnacho has prioritized Chelsea, and negotiations have already taken place with the player.”

He added: “However, there are no negotiations with Manchester United yet, as the price will be the deciding factor in completing this deal. The Garnacho deal is not expected to be completed soon, and it will take some time for two reasons: Chelsea’s management is currently focused on the issue of players leaving the club, as well as completing the contract with Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons from Leipzig.”

Garnacho is racing against time to leave the Red Devils, given that his relationship with Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has reached a dead end.
