Higuain leads line for Napoli

Gonzalo Higuain has kept his place up front for Napoli following his hat-trick against Dynamo Moscow in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

Tonight, the Argentine will lead the line in Russia for the deciding second leg, while Jose Callejon, Manolo Gabbiadini and Dries Mertens will provide attacking threat behind.

Napoli currently lead the tie 3-1 following their clash in Italy.
