The final leg in the Round of 32 in the Europa League happens today. The last two English clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea play for their Round of 16 spots. Question is will both progress beyond today?

The two London clubs finish off their Europa League Round of 32 tonight. One club has to come back from behind, while the other has to complete proceedings of a two-goal advantage. After last week’s shocking result that saw Arsenal not score in their fixture and go down by one goal, can we still say both Arsenal and Chelsea should qualify easily?

Well, the answer is simply yes! They should surely go through because both English clubs have the luxury of ending the second leg at home, respectively. The 32 fixtures consisting of 16 European clubs battling it out, with one already having a winner and loser. Lazio bowed out to Unai Emery’s old boys, Sevilla. The two capped off their fixture on Wednesday night afore the rest.

Eight clubs including the Gunners will play the early shift, while the Stamford Bridge side takes part in the late shift with the remaining seven clashes.
