Predicted Arsenal XI: Napoli (H)

Arsenal will be aiming to take control of the Europa League last-eight tie, when they face Napoli in the first leg at the Emirates.

The Gunners have two pathways to qualify for Champions League football next season. While finishing in the top-four in the league isn’t easy, winning this competition is no mean feat as well.

In hindsight, they have got the toughest draws. To compound matters, Unai Emery’s men lost their previous league game at Everton. That will hinder some of their found confidence.

With Arsenal having an absolutely shocking record away from home, they have to make sure that home advantage in the first leg counts for a lot, before they travel to Naples.

In terms of injury updates, Emery said that both Laurent Koscielny and Granit Xhaka will be assessed before a decision is made.

Here’s how we think the manager may line his team up for tomorrow:
