ARSENAL vs NAPOLI - preview

Napoli will be travelling down to the Emirate Stadium to face Arsenal in Champions’ League group clash. Both teams seem to be resilient as they both top their home leagues.

Napoli has never met with Arsenal on a competitive level before.

With Arsenal losing some key players to injury, the London side may likely struggle against the Italian side, although they have been consistent winners even with this predicament. Players on injury include Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski, Santi Carzola and Alex Ox-Chamberlain.

Despite injury nemesis, Arsenal’s boss Arsene Wenger is rather happy at the return of Czech International Tomas Rosicky as Wenger said he can play in all offensive areas. This statement has created the assurance in my mind that the 32-year-old attack minded midfielder will play in Tuesday fixture.

Although, Wenger has not been able to solve his side’s defensive problems, this will now be tested by Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain. A player Wenger missed out on during the transfer window.

Probably we will see a little bit of surprise from the London side as was shown in its home league weekend clash against Swansea that saw new face Serge Gnabry score a goal.
