Betting: Another all-English final looks likely as Chelsea and Arsenal return to Europa League action

While Tottenham and Liverpool set up an all-English Champions League final, Chelsea and Arsenal will hope for a more straight forward route towards European glory on Thursday.

With both teams in commanding positions going into their Europa League semi-final second legs, bet365 go 8/15 (1.53) that they contest this season's final on May 29. Punters can back this outcome by doubling the “To Qualify” prices available on each team.

Chelsea weren't able to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany last week, but Pedro's away goal gives them the upper hand in the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Celebrating Europa League

Maurizio Sarri's men are unbeaten in their last 16 Europa League games and are 4/11 (1.36) to win in front of their own fans and 2/11 (1.18) to qualify for the Baku showpiece. The same firm go 7/2 (4.50) about the Bundesliga outfit progressing and 8/1 (9.0) that they do so with a victory.

Chelsea have never lost a home game against German opposition in all competitions though, winning seven of those outings and keeping seven clean sheets in that time too.

Arsenal have had a serious bout of travel-sickness in recent months but their quarter final win in Naples will give Unai Emery's side hope of defending their 3-1 lead.

Unai Emery Arsenal 2018-19

Emery has a remarkable record in this competition. The 47-year-old won a hat-trick of titles in his time at Sevilla and including finals the Arsenal boss has won his last 18 Europa League knockout ties. The last time the Spaniard failed in that regard was in the 2011-12 campaign against Valencia.

The Gunners are an industry best price of 3/1 (4.0) to win at the Mestalla and 3/10 (1.30) to qualify. The Londoners have never been knocked out of a European tie in which they won the first leg by two or more goals, progressing on all 27 previous occasions.

Los Che are 10/11 (1.91) favourites to come out on top in the second leg but 5/2 (3.50) to overturn the first leg deficit and seal a place in the final.
