(Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images) Chelsea face Eintracht Frankfurt at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, May 9. Here’s all the info you need to watch. The pressure on Maurizio Sarri has perhaps decreased a little since the first leg of this tie, with Chelsea having qualified for next season’s Champions League after their 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday. Frankfurt coach Adi Huetter elected to omit key players such as Mijat Gacinovic and Luka Jovic from his starting XI against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend but ended up paying the price, as his side succumbed to a 6-1 thrashing. Although Frankfurt remain in fourth place in the Bundesliga and are therefore still on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League by virtue of their domestic league position, Leverkusen are now level on points with two games left to play. And given that (i) Frankfurt’s last Bundesliga game of the season is away to Bayern Munich; (ii) winning the Europa League also brings with it qualification for the Champions League, it would seem that Frankfurt have even more incentive to progress here than their opponents do.

Match Preview Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday may not have been their most heralded performance of the season, but it may have been their most important. With their rivals foundering in the battle to secure a Champions League spot, goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, David Luiz and the much-maligned Gonzalo Higuain gave the Blues a success that has booked their place back in the big time. Now the focus of Maurizio Sarri and his side can shift to securing silverware in the form of the Europa League. It is a competition that has played second fiddle to the domestic top flight throughout much of the year, but as there is little riding on Sunday’s trip to Leicester, the Blues can double down on sealing a place in Baku for the final. They found life tricky in Germany seven days ago, conceding the opening goal to the red-hot Luka Jovic, only for Pedro to level matters on the stroke of half-time. There would be no further scoring, giving the English club a marginal advantage ahead of the return. Eintracht approach the game following a chastening loss on Sunday to Bayer Leverkusen. Incredibly, they conceded six goals in the opening 36 minutes of the game, in which they had just 18% possession, despite playing 11 vs 11 for the duration. Key man Jovic was rested, but the squad was not weakened to the degree that it justified such a stunning collapse. “One mustn’t forget that this is only our second defeat of the second half of the season,” sporting director Fredi Bobic pointed out after the game. “It means nothing for Thursday.” Head coach Adi Hutter is also confident that result was just a blip. “I believe that as a footballer there is nothing more beautiful than these international games,” he said. “On Thursday I think that we are getting our heads free again. “Of course we will speak about the defeat as well. With the way we played, we have little chance on Thursday. “But I am convinced that the team will show a different side again.” Frankfurt will have to, else they were be staring down the barrel of another humiliation against an opponent hungry for silverware.<doc-sep>With a spot in the top-four of the Premier League wrapped up, Chelsea now shifts its focus toward reaching the Europa League final. The Blues host Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday in the second leg of the semifinals, aiming to build on the 1-1 draw from the first leg. Chelsea is in a fine position to advance but has to be cautious at the back to avoid an upset against a powerful attack. Here's how you can watch the match and what to know: Europa League: Chelsea vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Date : Thursday, May 9 : Thursday, May 9 Time : 3 p.m. ET : 3 p.m. ET Location : Stamford Bridge : Stamford Bridge TV channel : Univision Deportes : Univision Deportes Streaming: fuboTV (Try for free) fuboTV (Try for free) Odds: Chelsea -290 / Eintracht +750 / Draw +410 Storylines Chelsea: A 0-0 draw will be enough for the Blues to move on, while a 1-1 draw will force extra time. But if there is a draw with multiple goals for either team, the Blues would be on their way out. They are still the favorite in this second leg but have to be cautious about a team in Eintracht that is known for scoring early. Eintracht: This team is forced to score, or it will be out of the competition. Being more aggressive in attack will be needed and if Chelsea scores one, it's not a big deal because it doesn't really change the fact that they need to find the net. Expect them to go for more balls over the top against an inconsistent Chelsea defense. Prediction Eden Hazard starts in the second leg and scores twice as the Blues move on to the final. Pick: Chelsea (-290)<doc-sep>
How to watch Chelsea vs. Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of the Europa League semifinals. Either Chelsea or Eintracht Frankfurt will punch a ticket for the Europa League final as they meet in the second leg of the semifinals at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea maintains a slight advantage after the first leg, with the 1-1 draw in Germany last week putting the Blues ahead on the away goal tiebreaker. Luka Jovic opened the scoring early, but Pedro's goal just before halftime gave Chelsea that key away goal, and the teams failed to find the back of the net afterwards. Chelsea is expected to be without injured midfield star N'Golo Kante but will be hoping to advance to the final, where a London rival could be waiting. Arsenal plays Valencia in the other semifinal second leg, holding a 3-1 lead as their series shifts to Spain. Chelsea has already secured a top-four finish in the Premier League to cement its place in next season's Champions League, but it's eyeing its second Europa League title in seven seasons and third European trophy in eight seasons after winning the 2012 Champions League.
