Preview: Napoli vs. Swansea City

Sports Mole looks ahead to Thursday's Europa League last-32 second-leg tie between Napoli and Swansea City in Italy.

Swansea City travel to Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday with the two teams having drawn 0-0 in the first leg of their last-32 tie.

The Swans are bidding to reach the last 16 of the competition for the first time in their history, while Napoli are looking to win the tournament for the second time after lifting the trophy in 1989 when it was known as the UEFA Cup.

Garry Monk's side have been in shaky form in recent weeks, winning just once in their last six games. Meanwhile, Napoli are on an unbeaten run of five matches.

The winner of the tie will face either Porto or Eintracht Frankfurt in the next round.

Jonjo Shelvey and Michu are likely to miss out for the visitors, but Ben Davies could return to the side following a calf problem.

Napoli boss Rafael Benitez has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the match.
