Arsenal - Napoli live updates

Arsenal and Napoli have faced off just twice before in Europe - home and away in the group stages of the Champions League in 2013-14. Arsenal defeated the Italian side 2-0 at the Emirates, before losing by the same scoreline at the Stadio San Paolo.

"We're defending badly at the moment, even when it was 11 against 10, and that means we cannot control the game," said Ancelotti.

"If you control the game, you don't allow counter-attacks, you don't let the opposition to turn and run at you.

"It's an alarm bell, certainly, because if we play like this in London, then we're in trouble."

Ozil’s first Arsenal goal came against… you guessed it – Napoli!

Arsenal have been beaten just once in their last 17 home games in the UEFA Cup/Europa League (W12 D4) - losing 1-2 to Östersunds FK in the last 32 in 2017-18.

“We are going to play at home with our supporters and we know we need to win.

"Our first target is to win, but also we don't want to concede chances for them to score. That's important. We know they have good players and also have had good performances in the season.

"It's going to be a very good game, and away, between us because we have two teams of very good players."

Now for what my opinion is worth, I quite like this Arsenal team. Aubameyang returns to start alongside Lacazette, with Ramsey and Ozil also featuring. The Gunners have Koscielny back too!

Napoli XI: Meret, Rui, Maksimovic, Hysaj, Koulibaly, Allan, Callejon, Ruiz, Zielinski, Mertens, Insigne

Subs: Ospina, Malcuit, Chiriches, Ghoulam, Ounas, Younes, Milik

Arsenal XI: Cech, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Torreira, Ramsey, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Subs: Leno, Mustafi, Elneny, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Suarez, Guendouzi
