How Chelsea could line-up against Arsenal for the Europa League final
The defence is unlikely to change from the last few weeks of the season, mainly because Sarri doesn’t have many other options.
His best two fit central defenders are David Luiz and Andreas Christensen with Antonio Rudiger out injured and Gary Cahill out of favour.
At full-back, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta have been first choice all season and, arguably, are the most reliable part of the team.
The midfield and attack is where things get a little more stretched for the manager.

David Luiz is likely to play in the Europa League final
N’Golo Kante is struggling with a knee injury and is said to be 50/50. He might be on the bench but it remains to be seen if he will be risked starting the match.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek picked up a serious ankle injury in Chelsea’s post-season charity friendly in America and is out for at least a year.
Sarri will have little option but to play Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Ross Barkley in midfield if he wants to stick with his favoured formation.
Eden Hazard looks set to play his last game in a Chelsea shirt before a summer transfer to Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard could be set for his final game in a Chelsea shirt
Pedro has been favoured by the manager in recent weeks over Willian while Callum Hudson-Odoi remains sidelined with a long-term ankle injury.
In attack, Gonzalo Higuain has been underwhelming during his loan spell and is unlikely to start.
Olivier Giroud has been the much better option and with his contract extension signed recently he may be shown faith by the manager.
Can this team help Chelsea claim a second Europa League trophy this decade?
