Clement’s side will go into the fixture on the back of three consecutive wins following a successful week-long tour of Holland.

The latest came against top flight Dutch side FC Utrecht as they recovered to claim a 3-2 victory at Sportpark Zoudenbalch, Utrecht’s Training Complex.

Full highlights can be seen now on Rams Player HD:

Villarreal finished sixth in La Liga last season and their squad, managed by Spanish coach Marcelino, includes a number of international players from across the globe.

Not only were Villarreal involved at the top end of La Liga last term, they were also competing for honours in the Europa League - a competition that they will feature in during the 2015/16 season having already qualified for the group stages.

Marcelino’s side have also been in fine form during this pre-season – recording back-to-back wins in the Emirates Cup Wolfsburg and Lyon.

The Yellow Submarine have also undertaken a tour of Australia earlier this summer to assist in their preparations for the new campaign.
