Fixture: Arsenal vs Napoli
Competition: Europa League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)

Arsenal have officially named their starting line-up and substitutes to welcome Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli side to the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.

The Gunners will want to try to earn a good advantage to take to the second leg in Italy as they continue to view the Europa League as a potential route into next season's Champions League.




Napoli are favourites to edge out Arsenal over two legs, but the Italians have never beaten an English side in an away European game.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery picks Petr Cech in goal, while at the back he selects a three of Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal. Lucas Torreira will look to boss midfield, while Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil also play. Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are up top.

Emery has Denis Suarez and Alex Iwobi amongst his substitute options.
