Lorenzo Insigne is set to partner Dries Mertens in a two-pronged Napoli attack against Arsenal in the Europa League this evening.

Insigne has not started a game for Napoli since the international break last month, but the captain has recovered fully from a thigh injury.

As a result, the 27-year-old should win the runoff with Arkadiusz Milik as Mertens’ partner up top.

Indeed, the Partenopei have only Raul Albiol and Amadou Diawara missing as they look to end a nine-match winless streak on English soil.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have been boosted by Laurent Koscielny and Granit Xhaka returning to training, suggesting they will be fit enough to start at Emirates Stadium.

That leaves Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck as the Gunners’ only absentees for this quarter-final first leg.

Arsenal (probable): Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Maitland-Niles, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac; Ozil; Aubameyang, Lacazette

Napoli (probable): Meret; Hysaj, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Callejon, Allan, Fabian, Zielinski; Mertens, Insigne
