Carlo Ancelotti has outlined what his Napoli side must do to overturn a first-leg deficit and reach the Europa League semi-final at Arsenal's expense.
The two teams clashed at the Emirates Stadium last week where first-half goals from Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Torreira ensured the Gunners are in the driving seat ahead of the second leg.
However, their record away from home in 2019 alone coupled with the chances the Serie A side managed to create in the first-leg is a huge indicator that this tie is far from over.

Speaking ahead of the game, Ancelotti has demanded three things from his players against the north London outfit and also revealed how the Stadio San Paolo can play a huge role in their attempts to reach the semi-final.
"In three words, we need courage, intelligence and heart," Ancelotti said, as per the Daily Mail. "I saw only a little courage in the early stages of the first game. Intelligence, I saw in both halves of the match.
"Heart is something we will put in on Thursday. In addition, we need a significant dose of intensity. We must seize this opportunity, we need a positive mental attitude and, I repeat, a lot of heart.
"And there will be an extraordinary environment to drag us.
"Napoli are the only (Italian) team left in Europe and I hope that is still the case on Friday.
"Napoli will put in a great display tomorrow - I believe we can do it."
Unai Emery's side have travelled to Naples. The likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Lucas Torreira and Alex Iwobi have all made the trip, but January loan signing Denis Suarez has remained in London as he bids to overcome a groin problem.
