Really looking forward to this one. In a footballing sense (from both sides), this could be the best game of the season.
They've played 8 and won 8 in the league, won 11 in 12 in all competitions, their only slip up was a 2-1 defeat away to Shakhtar which could possibly be attributed to them focusing on the league. We're both the highest scorers in the (top 5) leagues this season, we have 29, they have 26. So it's got 0-0 written all over it.
Interesting aspect to the game, Hamsik needs 1 goal to be Napoli's outright top goalscorer of all time (surpassing Maradona), Aguero needs 2 to be ours (not sure if he will be fit to start though).
Can't see us rotating much, if at all in this game.
I know we should be aiming to win our home games but I think I'd be happy with a draw in this one. Of course we should go for the win though.
