We have home legs second in the quarters and the semi's and are regarded as the home team for the final

That is actually a perfect draw

Lovely jubbly. But as you say. No room. Gotta turn up

As a neutral unless we're in the Europa I wouldn't have an interest in watching many games but I'd love you to get Arsenal in the final, would be a great game made even better if we managed to get top 4 with Spurs making it a decider for the CL.

Could have an all English final in both European competitions.

Chelsea/Arsenal or Chelsea/Napoli would both make very interesting finals

Perfect draw, still gotta turn up and not be complacent. Giroud continue his fabulous goal scoring form in the EL, bag himself another hat trick vs Slavia.

All London Europa League final and all Manchester Champions League final? Two cities owning Europe?

Why did Arsenal have to drop their home second leg not us

Apparently we were given preference as we won the domestic cup. At least that’s what the presenter guy said

Will be a Napoli v Chelsea final imo.

As for the CL, it's too tough to call, maybe Barca v Liverpool

Liverpool and Barca would have to play each other in the semis

Great for the fans, Prague is a great city to visit and enjoy,plus a lot of them follow Chelsea as well !

Afterwards, if we get through, Lisbon or Frankfurt, both great places to visit.

As a neutral unless we're in the Europa I wouldn't have an interest in watching many games but I'd love you to get Arsenal in the final, would be a great game made even better if we managed to get top 4 with Spurs making it a decider for the CL.

That would be a fantastic occasion especially in those circumstances, arguably be the most anticipated Europa League Final since it changed it's name (a complete vindication of the winners gains CL football stipulation).

But Napoli would be such an intriguing contest. Sarri, Jorginho, Higuain playing against friends, would be Ancelotti's first game against us as a rival manager I believe, one team trying to play one style the other team plays better why'll the other team play a style the other plays better. There's history after we overturned them in 2012. It's such a potentially fascinating game

Great draw for us, should really have final in the bag with that draw. Napoli vs Arsenal will decide who we should end up facing (I say should because obviously We could always mess it up)

Benfica are not to be dissmissed

Nor are Frankfurt. Been fantastic this season, knocked out Inter last round too. If they can get passed Benfica without Jovic they'll be a proper banana skin opponent.

Every team should be treated with respect in this competition. Every team in the Q/F are where they are because they’re all bloody good teams. We’re potentially 5 games away from qualifying for the CL and a🏆to celebrate. The EL competition is by far the better and probably the easiest route to the CL, as opposed to finishing in the top 4, where we have to play 9 more games, some of them are tough away games starting from Sunday against Everton. I am not in any way saying that we should fully concentrate on EL thus not prioritising top 4 finish. We all thought AM and PSG were home and dry, so, probably more surprises in the locker ? Who knows ....... but consider this, god forbidden if one of Spurs or Utd somehow win the CL, but finish outside top 4, and we finish 4th, whereas Arsena end up winning the EL who also finish outside the CL spots . Granted very unlikely. At the same time you can’t rule out as a possible scenario ....now that would be catastrophic. So that’s another reason to win the EL, if we want to save our season.

Only in finals! The 'curse'

I fear Napoli and Arsenal. Arsenal because they have a good record against us recently (thanks Conte ) and Napoli because they've actually improved I believe since Sarri left. Frankfurt and Benica, no disrespect, but if we want to win a European Competition and aren't confident about beating teams of that level, then we have no business even thinking about winning the competition. If we are serious about winning this the only teams that should worry us are Arsenal and Napoli.

Napoli have been awful this season and are pretty awful in general, were lucky to even go through. They are poor going forward and average defensively,

Benfica and Arsenal will be much tougher

Arsenal are OK at home, but next to useless away from home. I mean teams that are seriously thinking about winning the trophy, are not losing to teams like Bate and Rennes so easily away.

True but if we met Arsenal we'd be meeting them in the final, also they dominated you at wembley to be fair

And when you have players like Auba and Lacazette you're always going to pose a threat
