  1. Who qualifies for the CL?published at 20:22 British Summer Time 9 May 2019

    A few of you asking who would qualify for Europe next season if it's all English teams in the finals.

    The Europa League final winners and the top four would all be in next season's Champions League. If Arsenal win and finish fifth, there will be five teams in the Champions League.

    If Chelsea win the tournament, there will only be four and the Gunners will miss out presuming they don't finish fourth.

    Not much goalmouth action at the Bridge so far. The away fans are making a lot of noise.

    Penalty appeal for Chelsea?

    EasyChelsea:Watching it back I don’t think that’s a pen however Da Costa payed zero attention to the ball

    That was former Arsenal defender Gabriel who made a mess of that long Petr Cech kick...

    Valencia's weakest link is the two centre-halves. They were nowhere to be seen and they did not spot the run of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    He strikes it with his laces into the bottom corner and it's a world class finish.

    Valencia 1-1 Arsenal (2-4 agg)

    Valencia need to score twice now to send this game to extra time. They can no longer win on away goals. Only Arsenal can.

    Out of nowhere!

    Rodrigo fires a shot just wide for Valencia. Petr Cech boots his goal-kick long.

    A Valencia defender doesn't deal with it and Alexandre Lacazette flicks a header onto Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    The striker controls the ball on his chest and then smashes in a wonderful strike using the outside of his boot.

    Woof. A high ball drops to Frankfurt's Danny da Costa in the box and he rifles in a wonderful first-time volley which Kepa tips over the bar.

    A 2-0 Valencia win would take them through on away goals. Arsenal are killing time already.

    Valencia 1-0 Arsenal (2-3 agg)

    HUGE chance for Valencia to go ahead in this tie. Rodrigo gets the ball in the box and his shot hits Kevin Gameiro.

    Was it going in? Possibly? But it was blasted at him and wasn't on the line. It wasn't Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting levels.

    As the ball was slid across the six-yard box it was inevitable and Kevin Gameiro was never gong to miss from there. I thought Valencia might score early and now it's a real test of Arsenal's bottle.

    Chelsea want a penalty as Danny da Costa appears to nudge over Ruben Loftus-Cheek but referee says no.

    Who let that cat out among the pigeons? Valencia are right back in this.

    Ainsley Maitland-Niles has a shot saved by Neto at one end and the hosts break. Daniel Wass' cross-shot takes a deflection off Nacho Monreal and Kevin Gameiro slides it in at the back post.

    Valencia's second shot but Rodrigo's weak effort dribbles wide. There was a second ball on the pitch, which Rodrigo's shot almost hit. That would have been controversial.

    I don't want to worry Arsenal fans... but it does feel like a Valencia goal could be coming. The ball breaks for Goncalo Guedes on the edge of the box but he puts it high and wide.

    Valencia are trying to get Goncalo Guedes into the game who I think will be one of the best players in the world in a few years.

    They have started on the front foot and the game is set up so well.

    Good defending by Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny to head a Kevin Gameiro cross behind for a corner before it reaches a Valencia striker.

    Valencia come forward but Rodrigo is nudged off the ball. A early home goal would make this VERY interesting.
