Name The Starting XI – Europa League Final – Baku – Arsenal

|

Chelsea’s 2018 / 2019 campaign ends next Wednesday in the most unlikely of venues.

With two English sides reaching the final, with Chelsea being joined by Arsenal, what logic is there in playing the final in Baku, Azerbaijan?

With both sides being limited to just 6,000 tickets each, the logistical problems of getting to Azerbaijan mean that it is unlikely either side will sell their entire allocation.

The more it gets discussed the more the fact that UEFA has failed the supporters of both clubs’ hits home.

But such is life, when has the average football supporter ever been treated with the humanity they deserve?

As is the norm, but perhaps a little earlier than normally scheduled, we’re running our usual feature whereby we invite you to second-guess the starting eleven that Mauricio Sarri will select.

The only guidance we’ll offer is that Chelsea will definitely be without the injured trio of Callum Hudson-Odoi, Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

So, who’ll be the first to put their head above the parapet and name the eleven they predict Sarri will select?

Just drop your selection into the comment facility beneath this article.
