What is at stake for Napoli and Arsenal?

Napoli endured a difficult 2025-26 campaign, and they will be keen to better their 30th-place finish from last season's league phase.

However, Gli Azzurri have lost each of their last three meetings with English teams, as well as three of their past four against Wednesday's opponents.

As for Arsenal, they were beaten on penalties by Paris Saint-Germain in May's Champions League final, and will be desperate to make a strong start this time around as they vie to lift the famous trophy for the first time in 2027.

With that goal in mind, the Gunners will be expecting to take maximum points in midweek, buoyed by their winning opening to the domestic season.
