This Is What You Should Expect In Chelsea vs Arsenal Europa Finals.


Chelsea will take on Arsenal in the Europa League finals in Baku, Azerbaijan. This will mark the last London rivalry in 2018/19 season. It won't be an easy match to either side as Chelsea's Maurizo Sarri is looking to win his first silverware in Stamford Bridge. On the other end, Arsenal are looking for an opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. Indeed, this match carries a lot!
Arsenal will miss Henrikh Mikhitaryan who did not travel to Baku due to political rivalry of his country and Azerbaijan. On the other side, Ngolo Kante's chance to play is 50/50. Here are the things you should expect:

1. A match with a high tempo.
Because these teams want the silverware, the match will have a high pace. Hazard might play for his last match in Chelsea and wants to leave in style. On the other hand, Arsenal are looking for the first European Championship for years; before the new era. On top of that, Arsenal want to play the Champions League next season a chance they missed in the last matches in the Premier League.


 2. Tactical Battle.
Today, expect a tactical battle because these teams have two managers with great football philosophies. Sarriball from Chelsea will try to challenge Unai's total football. Also, Chelsea like to play with a high defensive line and using wingbacks to attack. It will be a fascinating match to watch.
3. Chelsea To Posses and Dominate The Game.
Being good in possession,  Sarri's men are among the best teams in the league. They have good passing accuracy and pass completing.

4. Arsenal's Striking Force to Cause Problems to Chelsea's Defence.
Despite being out of the squard, Arsenal have one of the best attacking force in the league. Piere Aumeric Aubameyang and  Lacazatte had a fantastic season last season. Firstly,  their partneship and combination can threaten Chelsea's defenders. The second deadly weapon Arsenal have is Aubameyang's pace and clever runs behind defenders. If Chelsea will use it's full-backs to attack, Aubameyang will hurt them.
