Arsenal faces Napoli in Italy as the Champions League returns, with Mikel Arteta's side looking to go one better this season after losing last year's final to PSG.
The Gunners have never won the competition before, and having gotten over the line in the Premier League, Europe is next in its sights. Arsenal should have a strong enough roster to compete on both fronts.
Winning in Naples would be a statement, but given the eight games that are now played in the group phase, there is a large margin for error. If Arsenal doesn't win, it will still have enough to progress into the knockouts.

In the U.K., this game — kicking off at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. GMT) — will be shown live by TNT Sports and is available to stream via its app. In the U.S., the match is on Paramount+. Glenn Nyborg of Sweden is the referee.
Arsenal is currently without William Saliba and Cristian Mosquera. Jurrien Timber has traveled to Naples, however, and Bruno Guimaraes is in doubt.
For Napoli, Scott McTominay is absent after undergoing a heart procedure, while Alessandro Buongiorno has a long-term knee injury. Giovane and Luca Marianucci are also out.

Arsenal's travel plans for the game were disrupted due to problems flying out of London, meaning Arteta's pre-match press conference was canceled.
Last time out, though, Arsenal beat Chelsea in a high-profile clash at the Emirates Stadium.
"I'm really happy," Arteta said after that game. "I think it was an incredible game to watch, to coach. It was fascinating from start to finish.
"The level, the quality, the way we competed, the way we attacked, the dynamics and the fluidity. The threat that we generated against that really tough opponent. It was incredible.

"And then so many of the performances that we missed a lot because last year those players weren't available for us, so we took the game to a different dimension.
"The crowd was incredibly connected to the team as well, and when that happens, it's extremely difficult for the opponent to handle both things at the same time. So, a really happy afternoon."
