Ben Arfa endured an unhappy two years under Emery at Paris Saint-Germain where he was frozen out for an entire season and made to train with the club's reserves. “We know it'll be a level up against such a club,” said Rennes midfielder Benjamin Andre. “Arsenal is a name that resonates throughout Europe. They will obviously be the big favourites.”
French international Alexandre Lacazette will miss out on a return to his homeland as he is suspended, but there will be a homecoming of another sort for Petr Cech, who spent two years at Rennes before joining Chelsea in 2004.Chelsea remain favourites to win the competition for a second time in six years and will be confident of seeing off Dynamo Kiev at Stamford Bridge as Maurizio Sarri has bounced back from the brink of losing his job.
The biggest threat to the English duo's chances of reaching the final in Baku on May 29 is likely to come from Italian giants Napoli and Inter Milan.
