Napoli hosts Arsenal at the Stadio Maradona tonight in a Champions League match scheduled to kick off at 21:00 CET. Manager Massimiliano Allegri faces midfield personnel challenges for the fixture, as Scott McTominay remains sidelined following a heart procedure and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is unavailable due to an adductor injury. Napoli looks to an attack led by Rasmus Hojlund, Matteo Politano, and Alisson Santos to challenge the Arsenal side. Arsenal is expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation with Riccardo Calafiori appearing at left-back. Alessandro Buongiorno, Luca Marianucci, and Giovane are ineligible for the Napoli squad as they were not included on the team's UEFA list.
