EL final preview: How Emery can out-think Sarri for Arsenal success

This Wednesday, Chelsea and Arsenal face off in the Europa League final. The teams have played twice this season, each earning one win and one defeat, meaning the clash is difficult to predict. What isn't in doubt, however, is that there is more at stake for the latter team.

Unai Emery's Arsenal missed out on a top four spot in the Premier League. As a consequence, they need to win this week's final to enter next term's Champions League. Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea, however, secured a third-place league finish ending the season two points clear of their London rivals that means their position in Europe's elite club competition is guaranteed.
