Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri claims his side have been more successful than Arsenal this season because of the Carabao Cup.

Both Chelsea and Arsenal changed their managers in the summer transfer window and both have had indifferent seasons, but they both sit on 50 Premier League points this season and are also both trough to the Europa League last sixteen.

However, both are out of the FA Cup after some shocking results, but Sarri, who is under increasing pressure as boss of Chelsea, has claimed that his side that been more successful that their London rivals because they have reached the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

“It’s important to win the final,” Sarri said on the Sky Sports website.

“It’s very important for us, we have to find confidence. We are in the first final of the season and one point off the [Premier League] top four.

“Arsenal’s season is good but we’re doing a little bit better because we are in the final, and our season is a disaster? I am not able to understand.

“I want to remind you that in the last two seasons this team had 70 points, not 100. In the summer, we changed everything. It is not easy.”

Here is what we think.

Reaching a final means nothing if Chelsea do not win it, so both Chelsea and Arsenal have had the same kind of season so far this year and it will come down to whom picks up silverware at the end of the season.

Top four and Champions League football is the goals for both Arsenal and Chelsea, but adding the Europa League title to their cabinet would be a real boost to whether or not they will be at the club in the long-run.
