Gunners head to Naples to kick off their new Champions League campaign

Arsenal begin their latest bid for Champions League glory in Naples tonight. The Gunners travel to southern Italy hoping to deliver an early statement victory in this season’s league phase to show there will be no lasting hangover from last year’s agonising final defeat on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain. Mikel Arteta’s side should be in good spirits at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after coming from behind to beat Chelsea at the weekend an continue their 100 percent winning start to the new campaign.

However, Arsenal's preparations have been disrupted by travel issues in the UK which delayed their flight and meant Arteta's pre-match press conference had to be cancelled. That said, the positives are that Jurrien Timber has made the trip and could make his first appearance since May.

Napoli, meanwhile, have now suffered back-to-back losses in Serie A after starting the season with a win over Genoa and will be without talisman Scott McTominay after he underwent minor heart surgery. Kevin De Bruyne, though, is available for selection as he aims to haunt the Gunners once again.
