Sarri to Guide Chelsea into Next Round of Europa League

Chelsea and Malmo meet again on Thursday night, this time in England at Stamford Bridge for what will be the second leg of their Europa League tie. The Blues come here with a small 2-1 lead from the first game and they will be looking to build on that early in this one and put the game to bed.

While Malmo will know they are up against it here, they can take heart from the late goal they scored to get back into the game,

Chelsea head into their final game of the Europa League group stage with a 100% winning record, and if they win their final game against MOL Vidi they will end the group with six wins out of six.

We are still in the very early stages of this competition,

Arsenal to Continue Impressive Europa League Start by Beating Lisbon

Arsenal can guarantee a spot in the next round of the Europa League with a victory at home to Sporting Lisbon on Thursday. They have impressed so far in the Europa League, with three wins from their first three games and it would not be a surprise to see Arsenal go far in this competition. Sporting Lisbon have won two of their three games, with their loss coming against Arsenal, and they will be looking to finish in second place behind Arsenal to book their place in the knockout round.

Arsenal Can Continue Excellent Form with Win in Portugal

After finding his feet in the first couple of games back in August, new Arsenal boss Unai Emery has taken his team on an impressive run that has seen them win their last ten games in all competitions. They have played some fantastic football, and really shown us that they are more than capable of finishing in the top six, possibly higher, despite going through a rebuild phase. Their attention turns to the Europa League on Thursday night,

Can Arsenal Keep Momentum Going Against Qarabag?

While the Europa League may not exactly be the most ‘well respected’ competition in the history of the beautiful game, it’s certainly a great avenue into European football for a lot of teams – and, of course, it serves as a ‘last chance saloon’ for those who weren’t quite able to make it work in the Champions League. It creates a fascinating dynamic that isn’t spoken about enough, and we imagine the reason it isn’t spoken about enough is that people would much rather talk about the UCL.

Chelsea Can Continue Impressive Start with Europa League Win in Greece

There have been many talking points at the start of the Premier League season but one that hasn’t been spoken about much has been the impressive start that Chelsea have made. With them being involved at the top for a number of yers we often overlook them, but this is a team coming into the season after dropping out of the top four and with a new manager in charge. The World Cup took over the majoirty of the summer so new boss Maurizio Sarri hasn’t really had much time to impose himself on the group.

Can Burnley Turn Around Europa League Deficit?

I doubt many people would have believed this if you had told them two or three years ago, but Burnley are one game away from making it through to the Europa League group stages. The team standing between them and what would be a huge moment for the club is Olympiakos, and to make things worse Burnley are trailing 3-1 from the first leg in Greece. They are far from out of it, and have an important away goal on their side,

Rangers Can Make Home Advantge Count at Ibrox

Rangers are one step away from making the Europa Leauge group stages and they have been handed a winnable tie, which begins tonight when they face Russian side UFA in the first leg in Scotland. If Rangers are to win this tie then they have to take advantage of their home game this week, the trip to Russia will not be easy for them and it is imperative that they take some kind of advantage with them.

Burnley Attempt To Make History

Football is a game of slim margins, and nobody knows that better than sides who compete in Britain – and more specifically, England and Scotland. Whilst certain other leagues around the world can be quite unpredictable, nothing can quite compare to the tension and last minute drama associated with things over here. So then, when you consider that Burnley and Aberdeen couldn’t be separated in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League tie, it makes you wonder what on earth is going to go down tonight when they square off yet again.
