Former Chelsea star Hernan Crespo has identified the Blues and Sevilla as the two leading candidates for Europa League glory this season.
Crespo discussed the recently-held Europa League group stage draw with Sky Italia, as cited in a report from Football Italia, and highlighted Chelsea and their Spanish counterparts Sevilla as the teams to watch.
There are prestigious sides there and if they decide to target the Europa League as a priority, they can bring the trophy home. We’ll see if Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea focus on Europe this season, while Sevilla are specialists in the cup competitions.
After finishing outside of the top four in the Premier League last season, Chelsea were forced to settle for Europa League football instead of the Champions League this season.
Nevertheless, Maurizio Sarri will undoubtedly view the competition as the ideal chance to lift silverware in his first campaign at the club, with a hectic schedule awaiting the Blues.
Chelsea have been drawn into Group L for this season’s competition and will face PAOK, BATE Borisov and MOL Vidi FC as they look to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
The Blues will fancy their chances of topping their group but will be well aware of potential upsets.
