Napoli vs Arsenal: Three Tactical Battles To Look Forward To

The Arsenal Triumvirate against Napoli’s vulnerable Defensive Midfield:

The Arsenal midfiled is perhaps the best in England if not in the whole of Europe at the current moment. Knowing that Rafa Benitez will have to hand out Gokhan Inler and Valon Behrami the toughest job on the pitch, breaking out the Gunners weave of passes by playing in between Arsenal’s deep channels. If they are to give any time and space to Wilshere, Ozil, Cazorla and Ramsey near their penalty box, it will be curtains and match might just be decided in the spur of the moment. Moreover Marek Hamsik will also miss this lip-smacking of an encounter, meaning the likes of Behrami and Inler will have to double up, if Napoli are to have any chances of progressing through to the knockout stages.
