Match backgroundChelsea and Arsenal make the journey east from London to Baku's Olympic Stadium, where they have bothpreviously won against local champions Qarabağ, to contest the first major European club competition final betweentwo English clubs in 11 years, and only the third in UEFA history.

• It is the third UEFA Europa League final between clubs from the same nation, the first having brought Portugal'sPorto a 1-0 win in Dublin against Braga in 2011 before Atlético Madrid defeated Athletic Club 3-0 in an all-Spanishencounter in Bucharest 12 months later.

• Chelsea are unbeaten in their 14 UEFA Europa League matches this term (W11 D3). They dominated Group L in theautumn before eliminating Malmö, Dynamo Kyiv, Slavia Praha and, on penalties, Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the final.

• Arsenal arrive in Azerbaijan on a five-match winning run in the competition. They cruised through to the knockoutphase from Group E, dropping just two points and qualifying with two games to spare, but they had a scare in both theround of 32 and round of 16 against BATE Borisov and Rennes respectively before winning home and away in boththe quarter-final against Napoli and the semi-final against Valencia.

• While Chelsea have already secured a berth in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League group stage by finishing thirdin the Premier League, Arsenal's fifth-place finish means they will qualify for next season's UEFA Champions Leagueonly with victory in Baku.

Previous meetings• While the London rivals are familiar domestic opponents, they have been paired together just once before in UEFAcompetition. Chelsea got the better of Arsenal in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals when theyfollowed up a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge with a 2-1 comeback win at Highbury, left-back Wayne Bridge striking thedecisive goal for Claudio Ranieri's side three minutes from time.

• Although Chelsea were defeated on penalties by Manchester United in that most recent all-English final, the 2008UEFA Champions League showpiece in Moscow (after a 1-1 draw), their overall UEFA competition record againstfellow English opposition has yielded just four defeats in 17 encounters. Two of those came in their most recent tie,when they lost home (0-1) and away (1-2) to Manchester United in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

• Arsenal have never won a UEFA competition match against another English club in six attempts (D2 L4), their lastthree all ending in defeat – at Liverpool in the second leg of their 2007/08 UEFA Champions League quarter-final (2-4)and in both legs of the following season's semi-final against Manchester United (0-1 away, 1-3 home).

Form guideChelsea• In the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time this season, Chelsea eased through to the knockoutphase, doing the double over PAOK (1-0 away, 4-0 home) and BATE Borisov (3-1 home, 1-0 away) before Vidi, whohad lost 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, denied them a clean sweep with a 2-2 draw in Budapest on matchday six.

• In the round of 32, the Blues defeated Malmö away (2-1) and at home (3-0) before sweeping aside Dynamo Kyiv (3-0 home, 5-0 away). They then made it six wins in a row against Slavia Praha in the quarter-finals (1-0 away, 4-3home) before Frankfurt took them all the way to penalties in the last four (1-1 away, 1-1 home), Eden Hazardconverting the decisive spot kick at Stamford Bridge.

• This is Chelsea's second appearance in the UEFA Europa League final, their first in 2013 having brought a 2-1victory over Benfica in Amsterdam thanks to Branislav Ivanović's added-time winner. That was the club's onlyprevious UEFA Europa League participation.

• Chelsea are now a record 17 games unbeaten in the UEFA Europa League, including the last three matches of thatvictorious 2013 campaign, with 14 wins in those matches.

• The west Londoners are the top-scoring team in this season's competition with 32 goals, five short of the UEFAEuropa League record set by Porto in 2010/11.

Arsenal• UEFA Champions League ever-presents for 19 successive seasons until last term, Arsenal reached the UEFAEuropa League semi-finals at the first attempt, going out to eventual winners Atlético.

• This season they breezed through their group, an opening 4-2 win at home to Vorskla Poltava preceding four winsand a draw in which they conceded no further goals. The first of those games was in the Baku Olympic Stadium,where they defeated home side Qarabağ 3-0 with Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Matteo Guendouzi both scoringtheir first goals for the club.

• That competition record-equalling run of five clean sheets ended at BATE, where they lost 1-0 before recovering towin 3-0 at home. It was a similar comeback tale in the round of 16, a 3-1 defeat at Rennes preceding another 3-0home victory, before a 1-0 win at Napoli supplemented a first-leg 2-0 home win. Valencia were then overcome 7-3 onaggregate in the semi-final (3-1 home, 4-2 away), strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (four) and AlexandreLacazette (three) sharing the goals between them.

• Arsenal have never previously featured in the UEFA Europa League final, though they did reach the final of theUEFA Cup in 1999/2000 which they lost 4-1 on penalties to Galatasaray after a 0-0 draw in Copenhagen.

• The Gunners are currently on their longest winning streak in the UEFA Europa League – five matches – havingnever previously managed more than three victories in a row.
