Chelsea, Arsenal battle for Europa League glory
Afascinating live sporting action of the Europa League final is in prospect in Baku Olympic Stadium on Wednesday, May 29, 2019.
Chelsea will face London rivals Arsenal on Wednesday night looking to cap off what has been a solid, yet unspectacular season at Stamford Bridge. While Europa League glory would be something of a bonus for the Blues, it’s absolutely crucial to the Gunners who need victory to secure a place in the Champions League next term. However, this will only provide the Blues with extra incentive to secure victory.
Chelsea look set to be without N’golo Kante for their crucial Europa League final clash with Arsenal. The France international was on track to return from a calf injury for the showpiece event in Baku, but it’s been reported that the midfielder has suffered a setback in his recovery.
Kanté would become the fourth senior player ruled out of the final, with the other three: Callum Hudson-odoi, Ruben Loftus-cheek, and
Antonio Rudiger are in rehabilitation from long-term injuries.
Arsenal Manager, Unai Emery’s side will be hoping to have the Europa League trophy with them when they return to north London. Victory in Baku for Arsenal will also see them qualify for next season’s Champions League, something their rivals have already done after finishing third in the Premier League.

Startimes Nigeria has assured subscribers of live broadcast games of the Europa League final by 8:00pm African Time on its ST World Football Channels 244 and 254 and ST Sport Premium channel 246.
The Blues are the current favourites to triumph but you certainly would not write off the Gunners following some very good wins in the competition over the likes of Napoli and Valencia. The good news for Emery ahead of the game in Azerbaijan is that Danny Welbeck could make his return after breaking his ankle against Sporting Lisbon in November.
