#2 Arsenal's desperation to qualify for the Champions League
For Chelsea, winning this competition would just mean that they have another trophy in their cabinet. Other than that, there is no particular significance of winning this competition given that they have already qualified for the Champions League.
On the other hand, this is the only way the Gunners have in order to play in the Champions League next season. The North London club has missed Champions League action for two consecutive seasons. Both Emery and Arsene Wenger have invested heavily in a bid to get the club back into the competition.
The managers have welcomed the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Sokratis and Bernd Leno to improve the squad's weaknesses. These signings are desperate for Champions League action. With this additional motivation as compared to the Blues, the Gunners' eagerness could lead them to victory in the end.
