Currently sitting in 10th place in the Premier League, Arsenal's only real shot at ending its four-year Champions League drought resides in the Europa League. 

The Gunners will have to get past a familiar face in former manager and current Villarreal coach Unai Emery, who previously won three Europe League trophies with Sevilla. The Yellow Submarine has yet to lose in 12 Europa games (11 wins, one draw) under Emery since he took over last summer. 

Villarreal has won each of its six Europa League home games this season but is coming off a weekend loss to Barcelona at the Estadio de la Cerámica. Arsenal, meanwhile, dropped a 1-0 result to Everton on Friday but has taken advantage of the six-day break between games to get back to fitness.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that forwards Alexandre Lacazette (hamstring), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (malaria) and defender Kieran Tierney (knee) are in contention to return from their respective layoffs on Thursday. Lacazette was instrumental in the quarterfinal second leg with two goals to help eliminate Slavia Prague. 

Villarreal are led by a formidable attacking duo of its own in Paco Alcácer and Gerard Moreno, who have six goals apiece in Europa League play this season. The Spanish strikers each scored in the second leg quarterfinal meeting against Dinamo Zagreb. 

The winner of the tie will face either Manchester United or AS Roma in the Europa League final on May 26 in Gdańsk.

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of
