ARSENAL LATEST NEWS
Arsenal were well beaten 1-0 from Everton at Goodison Park, missing the chance to remain in the top 4 of the table.

It was a really bad performance from Emery’s team, with no answer to Jagielka’s goal. The bad away record continued, as the Gunners are the only team in the league without a clean sheet this season.

In the previous round of Europa League, Arsenal made a good match against Rennes in the second leg. A 3-0 home win, ensured the quarter finals of the competition for the second season in a row.

Central defender Koscielny and midfielder Xhaka, remain both doubtful as they suffer from injury problems. Aubameyang has declared fit and the striker will be in the starting line up.

MATCHUP TO WATCH
Aubameyang is fully fit again and will be the main threat for the visitors. The Arsenal striker has scored some fantastic goals this season. Also, his creativity and passing will help the whole team.

Mertens is the player to watch for Napoli, as the attacker is always in the right positions. The Belgian has the ability to dribble, pass, score and the home defence will have work to stop him.
