Match backgroundHaving lost both away games, SSC Napoli will be banking on their impressive UEFA Champions League home formto get them back into contention in Group F – easier said than done against leaders Manchester City FC.

• The 2-1 success in Manchester on matchday three means City have won all three games so far, and hold a three-point lead over FC Shakhtar Donetsk in the standings. Napoli are three points further back in third place.

• City will qualify for the round of 16 for the fifth season in succession if they avoid defeat in Naples.

Previous meetings• The teams' only past fixtures came in the 2011/12 group stage, City's debut UEFA Champions League campaign,when they drew 1-1 in Manchester on matchday one. Edinson Cavani gave Walter Mazzarri's visitors a 69th-minutelead; Aleksandar Kolarov equalised for City, then managed by Roberto Mancini, five minutes later.

• Napoli came out on top in the matchday five fixture back in Italy, however, Cavani scoring twice (17, 49) either sideof Mario Balotelli's 33rd-minute goal to secure a 2-1 home victory.

• The line-ups at the Stadio San Paolo on 22 November 2011 were:Napoli: De Sanctis, Maggio, P Cannavaro, Gargano, Dossena (Fernández 89), Aronica, Campagnaro, Inler (Džemaili59), Hamšík, Lavezzi , Cavani (Pandev 83).Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta (Johnson 85), Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong (Nasri 71), Y Touré, Milner,Silva, Džeko (Agüero 81), Balotelli.

• That win proved crucial as Napoli finished second on 11 points, one point and one place superior to their Englishrivals.

Match backgroundNapoli• The Partenopei have won four of their five home games against Premier League clubs, drawing the other. Theirmost recent success was a 3-1 home win against Swansea City AFC in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League groupstage; they had drawn 0-0 away.

• Before losing at City, Napoli were unbeaten in three matches against Premier League sides (W2 D1), since a 2-0reversal at Arsenal FC in the 2013/14 group stage. That was their third loss in four trips to England, the 2011 draw atCity the only time they avoided defeat in that run.

• Napoli are in the group stage for the second year running. In 2016/17, the Partenopei lost to eventual championsReal Madrid CF in the round of 16, going down 3-1 away and at home.

• Last season's defeat by Real Madrid was only Napoli's second loss in their last 23 European home fixtures (W15D6).

• In last year's group stage, Napoli picked up four points at home, beating SL Benfica 4-2 but losing 3-2 againstBeşiktaş JK.

• The Italian team qualified for this season's group stage by overcoming OGC Nice 2-0 both home and away in theplay-offs.

Manchester City• This is the fourth time City have been drawn in the same UEFA Champions League group as opponents from Italy.In 2014/15 they collected four points from AS Roma (1-1 home, 2-0 away) but in the most recent fixtures, againstJuventus in 2015/16, they lost 2-1 at home and 1-0 away.

• That win at Roma was City's only success in their last eight meetings with Italian opposition, home and away (D4L3), before they ousted Napoli last time out. It is also their only win in Italy, where their record is W1 D2 L3.

• City did not win away in last season's competition, losing at AS Monaco FC (1-3) and FC Barcelona (0-4) anddrawing at Celtic FC (3-3) and VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1). The 4-0 victory at Feyenoord on matchday onethis term was just City's second in their last eight European away games (D3 L3).

• The Barcelona match was City's biggest European defeat, home or away.

• Third in last season's Premier League, City are making a sixth successive UEFA Champions League appearance –they have progressed to the round of 16 or beyond in each of the last four campaigns.

• Last term, Guardiola's team came second in their section and lost on away goals to Monaco in the last 16 (5-3home, 1-3 away).

Head coachMaurizio SarriDate of birth: 10 January 1959Nationality: ItalianCoaching career: ASD Sangiovannese, Pescara Calcio, US Arezzo, US Avellino, Hellas Verona FC, Perugia Calcio,FC Grosseto, US Alessandria Calcio 1912, Sorrento Calcio, Empoli FC, SSC Napoli

• Sarri was born in Naples, when his father was working in a local factory. The family moved back to Tuscany when hewas three, but young Maurizio was always a Napoli fan.

• After a short career as an amateur footballer, Sarri started coaching in the lower divisions in Tuscany while studyingeconomics and working in a bank. In 2000/01 he accepted a job at Sansovino in Serie Eccellenza, the fifth tier,promising he would quit coaching for good if he did not win the league; they duly triumphed.

• After a Serie C1 promotion with Sangiovannese and 11th place in Serie B with Pescara, in 2006/07 Sarri replacedthe sacked Antonio Conte at the helm of Arezzo. His side were relegated but Sarri did oversee a 2-2 away drawagainst a Juventus team that included Gianluigi Buffon, David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero, and a homevictory against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, although the Rossoneri won on aggregate.

• In 2012 he took the Empoli job and, despite picking up only four points in the first nine games, his side reached theSerie B play-off final, losing to Livorno. The following season he guided Empoli to promotion and Sarri made his SerieA debut in 2014/15, leading the Azzurri to a 15th-place finish with his side earning plaudits for their organised andentertaining football.

• A 4-2 victory against Napoli helped the Partenopei decide to appoint him to replace Rafael Benítez the followingterm. Sarri was an immediate success, leading Napoli to second place in 2015/16, his team scoring five goals morethan eventual champions Juventus. Sarri's side also reached the UEFA Europa League round of 32, beating acompetition record by scoring 22 goals in the group stage. Napoli lost to Real Madrid CF in the UEFA ChampionsLeague round of 16 in 2016/17, but earned a competition return by finishing third that season in Serie A.

Josep GuardiolaDate of birth: 18 January 1971Nationality: SpanishPlaying career: FC Barcelona, Brescia Calcio (twice), AS Roma, al-Ahly Club, Dorados de SinolaCoaching career: FC Barcelona B, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern München, Manchester City FC

• Known as 'Pep', he came up through Barcelona's youth ranks to win six Spanish Liga titles, one EuropeanChampion Clubs' Cup, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and two Copa del Rey trophies from 1990 to 2001. Also had spellswith Brescia, Roma, al-Ahly in Doha and Mexico's Dorados de Sinola before ending his playing career in 2006. Won40 caps and Olympic footballing gold with Spain in 1992, but missed the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups throughinjury.

• Having coached Barcelona's B team, he took charge of the senior side in 2008 and won the UEFA ChampionsLeague, Spanish Liga and Copa del Rey in his first season. In the process he became the sixth man to have lifted theEuropean Cup as player and coach.

• That was just the beginning of a glorious four-season spell which yielded 14 trophies. In his second campaign,Guardiola steered Barcelona to a second Liga title as well as the Spanish and UEFA Super Cups and the FIFA ClubWorld Cup. Even more sucess followed in 2010/11 as Barcelona completed a hat-trick of Spanish titles and, for thesecond time under Guardiola, got the better of Manchester United FC in the UEFA Champions League final.

• In his final season, 2011/12, Guardiola's team won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup once morebefore he signed off his reign with a second Copa del Rey triumph. After a year's break, Guardiola took charge ofBayern in June 2013, replacing Jupp Heynckes.

• Collected the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, German Cup and, with a record seven games to spare, theBundesliga title in his first season in Germany. Secured his second successive Bundesliga title the following season,and Bayern again dominated domestically in 2015/16, but all three of Guardiola's UEFA Champions Leaguecampaigns in Bavaria ended in the semi-finals. Opted for a new challenge at Manchester City in summer 2016 but hisfirst year in charge produced Guardiola's first trophy-less campaign as a coach.
