Coming up this Wednesday is the much-awaited Europa league final between two London rivals. Chelsea will be taking on Arsenal for their first ever Europa League final clash which will be taking place in Baku. The two clubs became the other two premier league teams to complete the all English UEFA finals, as Liverpool and Spurs were the other premier league teams to reach the champions league finals. This is a much-anticipated final between two teams who have strong reason to win the Europa League trophy and will try to give everything to achieve their target.
Chelsea have already qualified for the champions league, finishing 3rd in the premier league and have secured their first main target this season, but are looking to secure their second target which is to win the Europa League trophy. They are going into the game with less pressure for success but will fight to ensure that they achieve their major target as well. According to Sarri’s press conferences, he has said that the team has done well this season despite the high amount of ups and downs they faced this season and that with what they finally achieved, the team deserves to end the season with a trophy. For Sarri, this final means a lot to him as a manager simply because he hasn’t won a trophy in his career and will definitely be hungry to kickstart his trophy bag with the Europa League trophy with Chelsea.
Arsenal have failed to secure the champions league through finishing in the top 4, but still have another huge chance of playing in the champions league next season by winning the Europa League which will be considered a huge success for them. According to Emery, the team deserves to play in the champions league and they will fight to ensure that they win their first European trophy for many years. For Emery, he is known to conquer the Europa League during his days at Sevilla and this will be his fourth Europa League final win if he succeeds to get the job done this Wednesday. This final will mean a lot to him as a manager in his first season at Arsenal and in a new league if he leads the team back to the champions league.
Chelsea vs Arsenal
This is a very important match for both teams, but extremely important for the gunners.
For Chelsea, they are going into the game where both teams have 50 50 chance of winning the trophy and will be going into the game confident to get the job and end their somewhat difficult season with a trophy. However, it is not going to be an easy task for them as they are going up against a team that will be fighting like wounded lions.
Going into the game, Chelsea will most likely set up in their usual 4-3-3 formation. Their game plan will be to try to dominate the game and creating chances to win the game.
For Arsenal, they as well have a 50% chance of winning this final and will be full of confidence to get the job done in Baku considering that they have also gotten the better of Chelsea this season. They need the win the most since it will be their only way of playing in the champions league next season, which means that they will be fighting like wounded lions in the game. However, it will not be an easy game for them since they are playing with more pressure and are going up against a team that wants to win the competition.
Going into the game, Arsenal will most likely setup in a 3-4-1-2 formation with Aubameyang and Lacazette as the two front men. Their game plan will be to exploit Chelsea’s weaknesses and try to capitalize on them.
