Napoli v Arsenal set to open Champions League campaigns in Naples

Arsenal are due to begin their Champions League campaign against Napoli at 8pm BST on Wednesday 9 September in Naples, according to Yahoo Sports.

The fixture marks Arsenal’s return to the competition after reportedly losing last season’s final to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in Budapest. Mikel Arteta’s side have also reportedly won their first three Premier League matches of the season.

Napoli failed to progress from last season’s Champions League league phase, according to the report, and have reportedly lost their opening two Serie A matches. The club are managed by Massimiliano Allegri.

Napoli were reported to have led Inter 2-0 on Saturday before losing 3-2. The result adds pressure to a side beginning its European campaign at home.

The match is reported to be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max. Yahoo Sports also listed starting line-ups for both teams, though those selections may change before kick-off.
