According to football.london, Arsenal will begin their Champions League campaign against Napoli, and Arteta is expected to make significant changes to the starting lineup.

Arsenal will face Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday night, hoping to start their Champions League campaign with a victory.

Arsenal fell short last season, losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest in the final, which has motivated Arteta to win a European trophy. While there is still much work to do to reach the final in Madrid, Arteta believes the team can achieve even more this season.

After Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Arteta told reporters: "It shows us that we are absolutely capable of playing at a higher level than we did last season.

"It's about how we maintain that hunger and humility, constantly seeking better versions of ourselves and the team every single day. We still have plenty of room for improvement and much to give, and that is the team's ambition."

Sam Truelove and Jack Stokes from football.london have predicted Arsenal's starting lineup against Napoli.

Sam believes that the weekend's victory over Chelsea will have taken its toll on some Arsenal players, so Arteta is expected to make several changes. However, the defensive line, including goalkeeper David Raya, should remain unchanged.

Sam said that Hincapié would get a chance to play as a substitute, and Timber might also make his first appearance of the season. Rice could be rested, with Zubimendi and Guimarães coming into the starting lineup.

Ødegaard is currently too important to leave out, and the captain will still start. Up front, Gyökeres might push for a starting spot, but Havertz has also had a strong start to the season, so there is no reason to exclude the German.

Madueke could replace Saka, allowing the winger to rest, and Eze also deserves a chance to show his abilities on the left wing.

Sam's predicted starting XI: Raya; White, Ngoyo, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Guimarães, Ødegaard; Madueke, Gyökeres, Eze.

Jack expects Arteta to make significant changes to the starting lineup. Although Arteta might prefer to stick with the lineup that played Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday, the value of squad depth cannot be ignored.

Jack believes that David Raya should continue in goal. With Saliba and Mosquera unavailable and Timber not having played this season, it will be difficult for Arteta to significantly alter the defense in a match of this magnitude, so Hincapié should replace Calafiori.

Arsenal could deploy a completely fresh midfield of Zubimendi, Merino, and Guimarães, allowing other players to rest. However, Jack would not be surprised if Rice started, with Guimarães coming on as a substitute in the second half.

Up front, Arsenal could also field a completely different attack. Arteta has the option to rotate heavily; failing to do so now could be regrettable if he needs fresh legs later in the season.

Jack's predicted starting XI: Raya; Hincapié, Gabriel, Ngoyo, White; Zubimendi, Merino, Guimarães; Eze, Gyökeres, Madueke.
