Tomorrow Arsenal and Chelsea finally go head to head for the Europa League trophy in what promises to be an entertaining and enthralling match.
Chelsea have nothing to play for apart from glory and another piece of silverware to stick into their cabinet but that is not the case for us, we need to win to play Champions League football next season and that is actually more important than lifting our first European trophy since 1994.
The last thing we need is for Unai Emery to put out another one of his dodgy teams and I am absolutely certain he will not, he will start with the side that most of us fully expect.
There is one downside to that though and that is that he will start Petr Cech in goal, that is what most expect him to do and so do I.
I cannot see Emery going with anything other than a back three of Nacho Monreal, Sokratis and Laurent Koscielny, I would be surprised if he started Shkodran Mustafi and stunned to the core if he found a place for either Carl Jenkinson or Stephan Lichtsteiner.
Because I expect the boss to go with a back three that means he will most likely have Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Saed Kolasinac on the flanks, it would be out of character for him to pick anyone else in those positions.
In the middle of the park, Emery is almost certain to start with Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira, I just do not see him selecting Matteo Guendouzi for this one.
In front of the midfielders it has to be Mesut Ozil, it would simply be too risky for the manager to go with Alex Iwobi in that role.
And of course, we will see both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the line up front.
Predicted line-up
Cech
Monreal
Sokratis
Koscielny
Maitland-Niles
Kolasinac
Xhaka
Torreira
Ozil
Lacazette
Aubameyang
That is our strongest starting eleven, there is a chance Emery will surprise us and play one of, or all three of, Mustafi, Guendouzi or Iwobi, but I just do not see that happening.
If this is the team we start with then my confidence is sky high that we will emerge the winners in what could quite easily be a high scoring game.
Predicted Score
Chelsea 1 – 3 Arsenal
If you think Arsenal will win and both teams will score, then take the massive 5.50 (9/2) from Betway. That looks extremely overpriced to me!
