Expect fireworks on Thursday 2^nd May 20:00, live on BT Sport. The first-leg of this season’s Europa League semi-finals and the four teams remaining are made up of two from the English Premier League, one from La Liga and a German Bundesliga representative. At this stage of proceedings there’s every chance we could have an all English final, but to achieve that both Arsenal and Chelsea will have to come through tricky ties. Here are our Arsenal v Valencia betting tips.

Man Utd won this trophy recently, dodging the unpredictability of the Premier League top-four and bagging a place in the following season’s Champions League, but the stats come down heavily in support of Spanish representatives, La Liga dominating the winners charts in recent years. Will Arsenal gun-down Valencia to throw the trends off-course? The majority of those who pack the London venue on Thursday will certainly hope so.

Arsenal impressed at the quarter-final stage and have looked a side capable of winning this title for much of the previous rounds. They ended the hopes of Serie A club Napoli by winning both home and away, claiming a vital 2-0 lead at the Emirates in the opening fixture before making sure with an away win, battling to a hard-earned 1-0 on their travels last time out. Lacazette grabbed the only goal of the game that night when bulging the net on 36 minutes and that was enough to send his employers through with a bit to spare. He’s not a man that scores too many on the road but he did pop-up with an important goal that night and everyone connected to the club were grateful for his timing. Goalkeeper Cech, who held on for a couple of clean-sheets, told members of the press his teammates controlled the game.
