Arsenal begin another Champions League challenge
Napoli represent an awkward opening assignment.
Arsenal were beaten on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain in last season’s final, meaning Arteta’s players begin this campaign attempting to go one step further and finally win the Champions League for the first time.
The league-phase draw has handed Arsenal a demanding route.
After Napoli, the Gunners will face Lille, Bayern Munich, Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Real Betis and Sabah.
Our full Arsenal Champions League fixtures page includes every date, venue and opponent across the league phase.
Arsenal enter Wednesday’s game in excellent domestic form following Sunday’s 2-1 comeback victory over Chelsea.
Arteta’s champions have won all three of their opening Premier League matches, with Kai Havertz and Martin Ødegaard scoring against the Blues at the Emirates Stadium.
Attention now quickly turns towards Europe.
Napoli have historically provided Arsenal with a relatively favourable matchup too, with the Gunners winning three of their previous four competitive meetings.
That record will be examined in our separate Napoli vs Arsenal head-to-head preview ahead of Wednesday’s fixture.
For now, supporters planning to watch from the UK can expect live coverage through TNT Sports and HBO Max from Naples.
