Two London English Premier League clubs will square off in Azerbaijan today for the title of the Europa League. The winner gains automatic qualification into next year’s Champions League, which gives Arsenal slightly more motivation, as Chelsea has already qualified by virtue of their third-place finish in the EPL this year. This is just the second time that two English teams have played in the UEFA Cup/Europa League final; in 1972, Wolves and Tottenham met for that trophy. This will be the 198th time that Arsenal and Chelsea have met, but just the third time in a European competition. The last time this happened was the Champions League quarterfinal in 2003-04, when Chelsea advanced 3-2 on aggregate. This is also the first pair of teams to have played in an FA Cup Final, a League Cup Final and a major European final as well. Arsenal has lost four of their five appearances in major European finals; their lone win came in 1994, when they beat Parma in the Cup Winners’ Cup. They lost the same inal the next year and then lost in the finals of the UEFA Cup in 2000 and the Champions League final in 2006. Can they turn it around — and get into the Champions League? Or will Chelsea prevail? Don’t miss our soccer betting preview of this classic soccer tilt.
