the europa league is overlooked in august and becomes a must win, in may.ably come fifth in the premier league, that seems a bit like arsene wenger. and if you look at where the outstanding performances and results have come this season, they have been in the europa league for arsenal. defeating matt one. but in the league, they've had some big defeats, conceding nine goals in the last few matches. if anyone in european football understands the sip significance of the europa league it is unai emery, who made his name in this competition with three wins at sevilla. he is an expert on spanish football. he was also manager of valencia and had a decent record with them as well. what can we expect from valencia tonight, jerry? looking at the leaguer, valencia and sixth place, a bit off the pace. they do not concede many goals. they have a lot of draws. they've lost their last couple of games. some interesting and familiar names, not least francis coquelin, who for many years provided the bite on the arsenal midfield. he's back with valencia tonight. he says that

our focus is that europa we know it is going to be difficult. ourfocus is that europa league. some opportunity in that europa league to do something important. so those results mean chelsea's win over watford guarantees their place in the champions league next season. a convinvcing 3—0 victory at stamford bridge means they move above tottenham into third. we said at half—time they had too much time on the ball. we were slow, much time on the ball. we were sloppy, giving away the ball. we had to press more. we did that. we won the ball back in their half and put them under pressure. once we started doing that the chances came and the goals came. it was a very good second half performance. so let's just confirm how the top of the table looks now. the title race will be decvided next sunday. between manchester city and liverpool but look at what today's results have done to the top four. chelsea now in third and tottenham in fourth — with a pretty significant goal difference above arsenal which makes it highly unlikely that arsenal can move above them even if spurs lose next week

no top four finish winning the europa league. no top fourfinish and winning the europa league.o top four finish and on this showing, no complaints. manchester united's hopes of qualification ended with a whimper at huddersfield. scott mctominay blasting them ahead albeit with some help from the keeper. after the break, the ultimate sucker punch, a goal kick all the way through to isaac in who booted huddersfield level before booting the corner flag into smithereens. it summed up united's day and in the words of manager, ole gunnar solskjaer, not good enough. we haven't deserved to be in the top four, we've chased the pack, we have been given chances. the league is so tight. it's a good lead with loads of good teams and when we got opportunities, we weren't able to grab them. arsenal's top four hopes are also all but over, they were soon ahead against brighton with nacho monreal winning a penalty which aubameyang coolly converted but the gunners couldn't capitalise on their early lead and after the break, they conceded a penalty of their own. granite shack at the culprit and bri
