That's because the group that they end up in may be significantly easier should the Gunners flop in Baku on May 29th. UEFA's process of deciding which teams will face each other in the Champions League group stage is slightly complex. But here's the breakdown as to why Spurs fans will now have extra reason to support Maurizio Sarri's Blues in just over two weeks' time. Should Tottenham lose to Liverpool, then they could conceivably end up in Pot 3, where they would face a much harder task against better opposition. So to be in Pot 2, Mauricio Pochettino, Harry Kane and co. would need two of the following four events to occur. 1. Arsenal lose the Europa League final to Chelsea 2. Sevilla fail to qualify for the Champions League 3. Porto fail to qualify for the Champions League 4. Roma fail to qualify for the Champions League However, if Tottenham were to beat Liverpool in the Madrid showpiece, then Arsenal's result would become irrelevant. That's because as European champions they would automatically be placed in Pot 1. Tottenham's extra hope for Arsenal to lose to Chelsea comes amid news that:Tottenham and Everton to hold talks over Lucas Digne swap dealArsenal are planning new contracts worth combined £500k A WEEK for Lacazette and AubameyangPochettino makes a BIG history claim ahead of Champions League final Arsenal are slight underdogs to lift the Europa League trophy, but they did beat Chelsea 2-1 when the teams met in the 2017 FA Cup final. Boss Unai Emery also masterminded a 2-0 win over the Blues at the Emirates this year. Sevilla only have a slim chance of qualifying to help Spurs out. They're two points adrift with one game to play and an inferior head-to-head record on those above them. Roma, meanwhile, are a point outside the top four with two Serie A games to play. Porto will be in the Champions League but will have to navigate a qualifying stage to reach the tournament proper. Pochettino has confirmed that talks over his and Spurs future will be put on hold until after the Champions League final. “The focus and the energy has to be on helping the players arrive in the best condition and design the plan to try to win,” said Pochettino. “We are going to have time after the final (to talk). What happens happens and, for sure, we are going to talk. "But now is about being focused on working hard and how we are going to manage and handle the players to arrive in the best condition. I think we can make history."
