The Gunners have barely been involved in this season's Premier League title race and are in a fierce battle for the top four.For them, a Europa League triumph would not only return a major piece of silverware but also offer them an alternative route to the UEFA Champions League if they fail to finish in the Premier League's top four.Arsenal are in the driving seat to advance to the semi-finals after a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium in their quarter-final first leg against Napoli last week. But the Partenopei have more than enough quality to turn things around on Thursday on their home turf.
In all competitions, Arsenal have won just three of their last 13 on the road, and lost seven.That is in stark contrast to their impeccable home record, which has seen them win eight in a row at the Emirates.Their most recent home win was last week's 2-0 triumph over Napoli in the first leg (U.S. only).

As a result of that victory, Arsenal are deserved favourites to advance to the last four of the Europa League, but their away form means it is far from guaranteed.Napoli will be eager to prey on the fact the Gunners are much less confident away from home.If the hosts can get an early goal on Thursday, they will be in a superb position to turn tie around. Arsenal themselves will also likely look to get on the scoreboard as early as possible as an away goal from them would leave Napoli needing to score four times.The good news for Arsenal is that Lucas Torreira looks set to be available despite being substituted at half-time in Monday's win at Watford.

The battling Uruguayan midfielder should be an ideal player for Thursday's crucial clash as he can stifle the likes of Dries Mertens, Arkadiusz Milik and Lorenzo Insigne in Napoli's attack. While Arsenal have been weak away from home this season, they have a head coach in Unai Emery who is an expert in navigating the latter stages of the Europa League.He won the tournament three times as Sevilla manager and is well placed to steer Arsenal to the last four in 2018-19.

Valencia vs Villarreal live Stream online

Gone are the days when Villarreal used to terrorize Spanish teams. This season, they are having a close call with the relegation zone and is just two points above of it as of now.With six match-days to go, they have a long way to go before they can be deemed safe. The conclusion being, if they are eliminated from the Europa – it won’t be the end of the world, whereas if they are booted to the Segunda, that might be considered catastrophic.

Valencia is on a roll right now, especially at home. They are in possession of the final Europa League spot and has just three points to overcome to be considered for the Champions League.On top of that, they defeated Villarreal, on the road, with a 1-3 scoreline, in the first leg of their Europa Quarters. Now they turn towards their home ground to complete the formality.

The last three matches returned two Valencia wins and a draw.Valencia scored three or more goals in the last two encounters while conceding a total of just one from the last three.12 of the last 18 wins at this venue went to the hosts.The last time these two met here, which was a La Liga fixture, saw the hosts recording a 3-0 win. The game was two months back.

Valencia is a top-four contender in the Spanish league and has been one of the best teams in the country this year. Meanwhile, Villarreal has been a shadow of the team they were earlier and has been fighting to avoid relegation. On top of that, Valencia has the home advantage. Even better, they are ahead in aggregate scoreline by 3-1, and the three were away goals.

Moreover, the last time these two met here, Valencia recorded a 3-0 win. Importantly, Valencia is on a 19-game unbeaten run at home, while Villarreal was winless in 16 of their last 20 road ties.Villarreal needs to score, and in plenty. The hosts will be happy to play relaxed and convert the chances they get due to the visitors’ mistakes, which will happen due to the pressure they are under. Expect an easy outing for the home team.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been content to rest key stars for European duty while his team remains in the thick of the race for a top-four finish in the Premier League.His willingness to rotate saw Eden Hazard, Gonzalo Higuain and N'Golo Kante drop to the bench for the first leg. They could be needed from the start this time, though, if Chelsea are going to make sure about seeing off a tricky opponent, especially with top-four hopes in doubt.The Blues dropped out of the top four after losing 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, before Arsenal won 1-0 at Watford the following day. It means winning this tournament could be the best way for Sarri to get Chelsea back into the UEFA Champions League.

The Italian knows he has the players who can decide this tie, and he made the right choice when he brought attacking talisman Hazard on just before the hour mark in Prague.
The Belgium international struggled against Liverpool when he looked uncomfortable in a false-nine role. Instead, he is better from the left where he can combine with full-back Marcos Alonso, who netted the winner in Prague.Being able to deploy Hazard, Willian, Pedro or Callum Hudson-Odoi on the flanks gives Chelsea a natural advantage out wide. Even so, the wing wizards need a focal point through the middle to play off and around.Olivier Giroud has performed the role admirably during a prolific run in this season's competition.

Sarri has enough options in attack, but he may be concerned about his defence after Antonio Rudiger was injured against Liverpool. Chelsea's best centre-back has a knee problem, leaving the head coach to choose from either Andreas Christensen or forgotten man Gary Cahill, per Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard.

Rudiger not being available should give a useful Slavia forward line confidence. Aggressive centre-forward Milan Skoda and tricky winger Miroslav Stoch have the ability to punish Sarri's men, provided astute skipper Tomas Soucek keeps the lines of supply open from midfield.
Chelsea will be aware of the threat Slavia can pose when faced with elimination, notably the late goals in the 4-3 second-leg win over Sevilla.

However, Sarri's squad is too deep and experienced to fall to a similar fate and should make routine work of setting up a semi-final tie against either Benfica or Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Benfica Live Stream

The German outfit were undefeated in their previous 15 outings in all competitions before their recent back-to-back defeats against Benfica and Augsburg. They were undefeated in 16 out of 20 games played on home soil. The visitors have lost three away games out of five in Europe this term and Die Adler will be looking to revive their hopes of winning silverware this season following their disappointing 4-2 loss in Lisbon.

Bruno Lage’s men have been victorious in nine of their previous 11 away matches in all competitions (W9 L2). They have also won six of their last seven outings, scoring 20 goals and conceding six in the process. The Reds have a two-goal advantage coming into this encounter and are priced at (4.50) odds to come out victorious according to bookies.
A 2-0 or 3-1 scoreline will be what Adi Hutter’s men need to go through to the next round of this competition. A scoreline in favour of the Germans, similar to the first leg result will take them to extra time while a draw or single goal-margin defeat will send the Portuguese outfit to the semi-finals.

Both teams have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three games. Frankfurt conceded eight goals and scored five while Benfica conceded five and scored 12 goals in those matches. Punters looking to profit from this game should stake on both teams to score with over 2.5 goals which is offered at (1.83) with Bet365. The last three outings for both sides have produced a similar outcome. Also, the first leg of this tie recorded 28 goal attempts, 14 for both sides.
