Chelsea's stars aim to wreck Arsenal’s plans for a Europa League victory parade.
The north Londoners have released details of an open-top bus parade through the streets of Islington scheduled for Thursday night should they win this evening in Baku.
But Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta said: “Hopefully we can ruin it. Our job is to play the game and win the trophy.
“We didn't plan a parade, but that doesn't mean we're not hungry and determined to win the trophy.
“We'll go with everything, the last game of a long season. When you have a trophy to play for, you get energy from everywhere. Hopefully we can get our hands on it.”
Team-mate David Luiz said: “Teams prepare things for the final. They have to be positive on their side, too. We are positive in ours.
“We want to touch the trophy. Before the party, though. So I want to win the trophy first.”
Both sides will be playing in front of a depleted traveling support at the Olympic Stadium. Chelsea are understood to have returned 3,000 unsold tickets to Uefa with fans experiencing difficulties making the long trip while Arsenal have sent back 2,300.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri said: “I am really very disappointed because we do this job for this kind of match, and so we hope to see our fans here. I can say only that we will try to win. We will try to win for us and also for them.”
The Blues are already without the injured Ruben Loftus Cheek and are sweating on the fitness of N’golo Kante after the France midfielder suffered a knee injury in training last week.
Sarri appeared to suggest, however, that Kante has a chance of making the showpiece.
Sarri said: “I think it's 50-50 at the moment. 50-50. Yesterday, 60-40 for 'no'. Today 50-50. He was a little bit better this morning. But 50-50.
“We are in trouble with the midfielders. At the moment we have only three midfielders for three positions, so we are in trouble.
“For us, N'golo is really very important. He is the only defensive midfielder that we have, so for us he is really very important.
“We are trying to recover him. We will try tomorrow morning. I hope to recover him because I know very well that, without N'golo, for us it's a problem.”
