Europa League final: how to watch a free live stream of Chelsea vs Arsenal tonight through BT Sport

Chelsea will face Arsenal tonight in the Europa League final in Baku, Azerbaijan.

While it has been reported that both clubs have returned a significant number of their ticket allocations owing to the high cost and difficulty of travel to the stadium, the match will be available to watch on TV and online.

In addition the strained relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan mean that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will play no part in the feature, leading to widespread criticism towards Uefa, the European football governing body, over the decision to allocate the final to Baku.
