Arsenal begin their Champions League quest with a tricky test against Napoli as Mikel Arteta’s side look to go one better than last year.
The Premier League winners so nearly completed a double with success in Europe in May, falling short in the final against Paris Saint-Germain. The challenge now is to improve again for another continental trophy tilt – and while they may have missed out on a marquee forward, Arteta certainly has plenty of strength and depth at his disposal as they embark on a new European campaign.

Things are unlikely to be straightforward in Naples, though, particularly after travel chaos delayed Arsenal’s arrival in the city. The hosts may have made a slow start in Serie A, and be without Scott McTominay due to a heart issue, but the visitors can expect a hostile reception and a strong Napoli side.
