This will be our toughest test this season. Napoli are a superb side, but on our current form I'd fancy us to beat anyone. Considering our lack of depth and that we keep winning anyway, I'd keep the current side but try Monreal or Rosicky out wide if Wilshere or Gnabry struggle.

Szczesny
Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Gibbs
Ramsey - Arteta
Gnabry - Ozil - Wilshere
Giroud

Viviano
Jenkinson
Vermaelen
Monreal
Arteta
Rosicky
Bendtner

Satisfied with a draw, over the moon with a win.

Think we can pull it out though.

Gnabry's going to own them....


On a serious note, we should beat them, i know they're quality, but we're in brilliant form, i think we can beat anyone at the moment.

I know it's too early to say but if we beat them I think we've qualified. We should beat Marseille at home comfortably and that would be 9 points and we should get atleast 1 point in the other 3 games. 10 points will be good enough to qualify IMO.

Would take a draw. Napoli rested Hamsik and Higuain in for this game, we were stretched physically and will probably play with the same line-up.

Biggest worry is that seeing as we are at Home, Napoli could well decide to sit back and play us on the counter.

Bit worried about this.

That is exactly what they will do. They're a counter attacking team and are very good at it.

We're good on the counter too. What happens if both sides decide they want to counter? Do they just make stupid errors trying to invite the other team to attack?

I might take a draw at this point considering our current resources. That said, if we turn up and play to our best, we should win. I'm almost certain Higuain will score against us though.

Not sure about that.
For one thing Higuain is a f**k of a lot better than Soldado.
