Both the Gunners and Chelsea topped their respective groups and will therefore play their second legs at home – with UEFA rules stipulating the pair cannot play in the city on the same night.Arsenal will therefore be the team whose fixture is brought forward with UEFA confirming that, as FA Cup winners, the Blues are given priority.The situation is clouded further as the tie cannot clash with any Champions League fixtures played on the same day, meaning Unai Emery’s side will kick-off at 17:00.2
