The Partenopei had started so strong with two victories, but it has been a slide ever since, losing at home to Besiktas and drawing 1-1 in Turkey.

Top of the group alongside Besiktas on seven points, this is a must-win game for Napoli, as elsewhere Besiktas go head-to-head with Benfica, who have six points.

Good news, as Benfica are currently 3-0 up in Turkey and if that stays the same, the Partenopei can also qualify with a victory tonight.

An Arek Milik brace gave them the victory in Kiev back in September, but his torn ACL has had a devastating effect on the team.

Manolo Gabbiadini is carrying an injury as well as proving himself not really suited to the centre-forward role in a 4-3-3 system.

That means Mertens is again used as a False 9 flanked by Callejon and Insigne, the Italian ending his seven-month goal drought at the weekend.

Raul Albiol is available again after over a month on the sidelines with a muscular problem and thrown straight into the starting XI.

Amadou Diawara and Piotr Zielinski are preferred to Jorginho and Allan in midfield.

Dynamo Kiev have just one point so far from four Champions League games and their President Igor Surkis said he’d be “getting rid of the dead weight” from the squad in January.

The danger men this evening are wingers Andriy Yarmolenko and Viktor Tsigankov, while Domagoj Vida in defence is strong in the air and has been linked with a move to Torino.

Valeriy Fedorchuk has not made the trip to Italy and Danilo Silva is out injured, but Moraes is surprisingly benched.

There is tension ahead of the game, as last night a Dynamo Kiev fan suffered minor stab wounds to the leg. He has already been discharged, as he wanted to attend the match.
