London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal meet in an all-English Europa League final on Wednesday, 2,500 miles from home. Blues defender David Luiz agreed when he faced the media later on Tuesday, adding: "This competition is not about the Champions League. Unlike Chelsea, Arsenal have already released plans to hold a trophy parade - in Islington on Thursday - if they are the team who triumphs. Arsenal vs Chelsea will be the first fixture to played in the FA Cup final, League Cup final and a major European final. Azerbaijan will be the 24th different country to host a major European final and the third consecutive year a country will host a major final for the first time - Wales for the 2016-17 Champions League final and Ukraine for the 2017-18 Champions League final.
