Statements - MauricioPochettino, Chelsea coach
The technical director knows that it will be difficult to face the leader of the competition, but he is confident in his team:
"The circumstances are completely different (compared to the first game). Now we are at the end of the season and they are playing in the Premier League.
It's a final for them, for us we should also feel the same. We need the three points to be in a better position in the table.
We are two or three games behind almost all the teams above us and it is important to try to win games like this to be in a European competition next season."

Statements - Mikel Arteta, Arsenal coach
The manager spoke of Chelsea's improvement in the last few rounds:
"Huge improvements. I think they deserve to be in a much higher position in the league, when you look at what they've done and what they've produced in games - they got to a final, they got to a semi-final, it could have happened. I think what Mauricio is doing is really impressive, so I'm sure he will take them there."
The Spaniard was also questioned about the 'Blues' project:
"I'm not the right person. I can talk about what we have done, but what other clubs do is totally up to them. And they will have the vision and they will be very clear about how they will get to where they want to be."
