Why Arsenal have already won Napoli, even before the game

There are suggestions that North London outfit Arsenal have an advantage against Italian Serie A outfit Napoli as they are both set to clash later for the quarter-final of the Europa League.

It has been hinted that the Serie A outfit will be without three key players which makes it an advantage for the North London club to secure an easy win in the first leg.

Napoli players including, Lorenzo Insigne is injured with an abductor muscle, Vlad Chiriches with a thigh injury while Amadou Diawara is injured on his foot and they are all major concerns ahead of the game.

Both Lorenzo Insigne and Vlad Chiriches have been confirmed to miss out of action for the next three weeks while Amadou Diawara will not be in action for the next month.

However, this is expected to be a big boost for the North London outfit with suggestions that they will capitalize on the fact that their opponents are incomplete and will be limited in strength.

Meanwhile, the Gunners were able to secure a 3-0 win at the Emirates Stadium before qualifying to the quarter-finals as they had suffered a 3-1 defeat against Ligue 1 outfit Rennes away from home.
