<\/p>\nOwen believes Chelsea star player, Eden Hazard will inspire the Blues to victory against the Gunners.<\/p>\n
Owen told BetVictor: \u201cMaurizio Sarri must do without Antonio Rudiger, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi in Azerbaijan, but they do have Hazard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel the brilliant Belgian will be the difference between the two sides in Baku.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cArsenal\u2019s last eight goals in Europe have been shared by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette and Emery \u2013 after much soul-searching and debate \u2013 has found a successful system to accommodate both stars into his starting XI.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, former Arsenal star, Ian Wright has tipped the Gunners to have an edge over Chelsea in tonight\u2019s Europa League final.<\/p>\n
Wright believes Arsenal forwards, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can inspire Unai Emery\u2019s men to victory against the Blues.<\/p>\n
Wright told Mirror Sport: \u201cArsenal\u2019s away form has not been great this season, but the last couple of games it has sort of kicked in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say Valencia were an amazing team but I thought Arsenal dealt with them ruthlessly and I think that Chelsea have the kind of defence that if you can get at them you can cause problems. Especially Lacazette and Aubameyang.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut at the same time, Arsenal\u2019s defence has been a weakness this season and when you have someone like Hazard, who is going to be marauding in there, Arsenal haven\u2019t got that naturally defence-minded midfielder who can pick him up in there, like someone like Kante could, so Hazard could be a problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when you look at him [Hazard] in what could be his last game for Chelsea he\u2019s going to want to go out in a blaze of glory and win something so you have to say there is an argument for both teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously I want Arsenal to win and I think Arsenal might just nick it simply because of the two guys up front.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
