Arsenal vs Napoli: Kick off time, TV channel and more ahead of Europa League quarter-final

Arsenal host Napoli on Thursday night in the Europa League quarter-finals

Arsenal host Napoli in the first-leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night.

Unai Emery has admitted that his side “need to win” the meeting with Napoli at the Emirates Stadium given their poor record away from home.

The Gunners have won five Premier League away games all season, losing 1-0 at Everton last weekend.

Emery’s side have also fallen to defeat in their last two away Europa League knockout games, having to turn around ties against BATE Borisov and Rennes to set up a last-eight meeting with Carlo Ancelotti’s Napoli.

Here is everything you need to know about Thursday night’s contest.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be televised live on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport 4K UHD. BT Sport subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.

What time does it start?

The match at The Emirates will start at 8pm.

Prediction

Arsenal may struggle when they hit the road but they are a completely different proposition at home and will likely prove very tough to beat in their own backyard.

Napoli have meanwhile faltered since an impressive 4-1 demolition of Roma at the end of March, losing to relegation battling Empoli and drawing with Genoa.
