How Chelsea could line-up for the Europa League final

There are unlikely to be any surprises for Maurizio Sarris side when they face Arsenal due to injury problems at certain positions and poor form elsewhere.Centre-back pairing David Luiz and Andreas Christensen are his strongest with the injury to Antonio Rudiger keeping him out.Getty5

Hazard appears to have just one more game to play for Chelsea before he leaves the club

If Kante is fit then his is likely to play alongside Jorginho and Kovacic in midfield. Ruben Loftus-Cheek may have been pushing to replace one of those in the line-up had he not gone down with the injury but it will have made the decision for Sarri.Ross Barkley scored twice in the charity friendly but he will likely be used from the bench. It may also be the last we see of Eden Hazard in a Chelsea shirt with his move to Real Madrid is thought to be close.Olivier Giroud is favourite at this stage to start up front against his former club with loanee Gonzalo Higuain struggling for goals since joining in January.
