Napoli v Arsenal: quarter-final of the Europa League, return match – live! | Soccer

Unai Emery speaks. He wanted to score more goals last week, but it was also important not to concede a goal on the outside, and they were successful. They want to score today, win today. They are ready for anything that can happen. They will use their heart, but also their heads.

A brief overview of the Arsenal sanctuary. As you can see, they will be playing in their famous shirt of choice tonight. Everyone, aside from Sokratis, has a few bottles of isotonic pink wine lined up. Sokratis has two red cans to cross instead. I do not know what they contain. Coke comes in a red can. McEwan's Export does the same. It may be the export of McEwan. Laurent Koscielny has a pennant pretty pretty to hand, but you can only draw so much gravitas of this badge. Too bad they got rid of the Victoria Concordia Crescit number from 1949, but I guess I'm late. Speaking of which, the locker room has both the simple and functional feel of a 1960s municipal building, and there is nothing wrong with that. I will be at the same level as you, the kickoff can not happen soon enough.

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti made three changes to the team named for the first leg. Former Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches arrives with Faouzi Ghoulam and Arkadiusz Milik. Depositor on the bench: Mario Rui, Dries Mertens and Elseid Hysaj.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is only one change from the first leg. Mesut Ozil collapses on the substitutes' bench, giving way to Granit Xhaka, much more defensive.

Naples: Meret, Maksimovic, Chirish, Koulibaly, Ghulam, Callejón, Allan, Fabian, Zielinski, Milik, Insigne.
Subs: Ospina, Malcuit, Rui, Verdi, Mertens, Hysaj, Younes.

Arsenal: Cech, Papastathopoulos, Koscielny, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Torreira, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ramsey, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Leno, Elneny, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Mustafi, Guendouzi.

Arbitrator: Ovidiu Alin Hategan (Romania).

For those who like the correct predictions … Here are the results of all the previous matches played between these two clubs.

Arsenal 2-0 Napoli (Oct 1, 2013)
Napoli 2-0 Arsenal (Dec 11, 2013)
Arsenal 2-0 Napoli (April 11, 2019)

Hump ​​on, bump on. Extra time and penalties, here we are!

But more and more confident Unai Emery's men will hope to seal the deal well before that. Arsenal has won five of its last nine stays in Italy, the last triumph of AC Milan last season, 2-0 en route to a cumulative 5-16 win over the Europa League. An away goal tonight would surely send them to the semifinal for the second year in a row.

It's not an easy task, though. Napoli is undefeated at home in Europe this year, winning four wins out of five, conceding only two goals. They have won five of their seven home games against their English opponents. And you may remember that they gave all sorts of problems to Liverpool in the Champions League groups earlier this season, at home and away.

Second place in Serie A should therefore rank fourth in the Premier League. A place in the semifinals of the Europa League 2018/19 is at stake. It's on!

Start: 9 pm in Naples, 8 pm French time.
