Europa League draw: Arsenal draw Napoli in quarter-finals

Arsenal will face Napoli in the Europa League quarter-finals. 

It will see David Ospina face his former club after joining Carlo Ancelotti's side on loan last year. 

The Gunners completed a memorable comeback against Rennes in the last 16, progressing despite losing the first leg 3-1. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued his fine season in front of goal with a double at the Emirates. 

While Ainsley Maitland-Niles is making a name for himself as Emery warms to the idea of a back three, allowing the youngster to push on as a wing-back. 

The 3-0 triumph at the Emirates  leaves Unai Emery’s side well-placed to achieve top four and also claim silverware in the Spaniard’s first season in charge. 

They currently hold that highly-coveted fourth place in the league, though rivals Chelsea hold a game in hand and can draw level with them. 

A place at Baku remains a high priority for Emery, who won the competition three times during his time at Sevilla. 

Arsenal's first leg vs Napoli has been moved to the Emirates to avoid a clash with Chelsea's second leg against Slavia Prague at Stamford Bridge.
