Chelsea vs Arsenal
Two teams from London, Chelsea vs Arsenal will face each other in the final of the 2018/2019 FA Cup season. Who will party at the end of the fight?
Both teams are indeed worthy of appearing at the top of the party given the great performances they both performed since the last group phase. In fact, the pace of both of them seemed unstoppable to penetrate this final round. Both of them must face to determine who will be the best in Europe’s second caste competition this season.
Both of them will certainly exert their best ability to win the only title that can be achieved both in this season. Apart from that, for Arsenal, winning the Europa League this season will not only be their second title in history but only by winning this competition the Gunners can penetrate the Champions League next season.
Arsenal, finishing fifth in the English Premier League final standings this season and only 1 point away from Tottenham Hotspurs ranked 4 and 2 points from Chelsea in third place. If you lose to Chelsea then Arsenal’s next season will certainly be competing again in this competition.
While Chelsea is more relaxed. For Chelsea, they only want to close the season with Raihan title. The Europa League is the only chance for Chelsea to win the trophy this season. Previously, Chelsea had failed in the Community Shield and the English League Cup. The Blues did not want to fail again in the Europa League.
Besides that, this fight will be special for Eden Hazard. It is possible, the player will appear in his last party with Chelsea, given Real Madrid touted immediately to buy it in the transfer market. The manager, Maurizio Sarri was also rumored to be getting closer to replacing Max Allegri at Juventus.
Meanwhile, Arsenal prepared to welcome the first trophy with Unai Emery. The Gunners’ trip this season is indeed steeper than Chelsea, but compared to the opponent, London Cannon has its own standards. Just one title in the first season, is enough to make fans see Emery as a substitute for the legendary figure of Arsene Wenger. Moreover, Emery has an aura of champion when with Sevilla. Plus, compared to the Blues, the Arsenal squad is more complete.
Ahead of this match, Antonio Rudiger, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were injured. N’Golo Kante’s condition is also in doubt. Without those four important players, Chelsea will be in trouble. First, because of the thin layer of the squad. And the second, whether Ross Barkley can replace Kante’s role as well as the midfielder from France. While Arsenal, the only player who is definitely absent is Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Ex-Dortmund and Manchester United players cannot enter Azerbaijan because of their country’s (Armenian) political problems with Azerbaijan.
