Viktor Gyokeres is in the starting lineup for our first pre-season friendly at Emirates Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our summer signing came on as a late substitute against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong last week, and takes his place up front against Villarreal to make his first start.<\/p>\n
Christian Norgaard is the other new arrival in the starting lineup, while Noni Madueke is in the matchday squad for the first time, among the substitutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes are also both on the bench, having not featured at all during the Asia Tour matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Cristhian Mosquera are also in the squad, as is 15 year old talent Max Dowman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The back four is unchanged from our last run out – with David Raya starting behind Ben White, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Norgaard is in midfield with Mikel Merino and Ethan Nwaneri with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli either side of Gyokeres up front.<\/p>\n
Former Gunner Nicolas Pepe starts for our visitors – who finished fifth in La Liga last season. Fellow ex-Gunner Denis Suarez is among the subs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
