Arsenal legend, Emmanuel Petit, has supported Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea to defeat Unai Emery’s players when both sides meet in the final tie in Wednesday’s Europa League final in Baku.

Chelsea got to the Europa League final after defeating Frankfurt in semi-final encounter, while Arsenal dumped Napoli out of the competition.

But it remains the belief of the Arsenal legend that Chelsea is ‘in a good place’ to win the Europa League ahead of Arsenal.

Revealing this shocking prediction, Petit told Paddy Power that: “I’ve been critical of Sarri in the past, particularly about some tactical decisions that I didn’t understand. But you have to give him the time to do what he wants to do with the team.

“If they win the Europa League, they’ll have a European trophy, which alongside their earlier Champions League qualification, translates to a good year for Chelsea.

“With all that in mind, there’s a lot to be happy about for the club. If you compare this season to the previous, he has probably achieved what the club asked him to do.

“Most of the time when watching Chelsea, I get bored very easily. But the important thing is to win games and win trophies, and they’re in a good place to do that.”
