Napoli have been one of the stories of the season, both at home and on the continent. 

Sixteen points clear at the summit of the Serie A standings, it is only a matter of time before they are crowned champions of Italy for the first time since 1990.

The Partenopei have also caught the eye in the Champions League, winning seven of their eight matches and scoring 25 goals.

But Milan have greater European pedigree and recently thrashed Napoli 4-0, so this is not a foregone conclusion.

Kick-off is at 8pm BST.

Team news

Milan will be unable to call upon the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pierre Kalulu at San Siro.

Napoli will again have to make do without Victor Osimhen, with Gio Simeone set to continue up top in the Nigerian's absence.

Form

Milan have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions, but that was the aforementioned 4-0 thrashing of Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

That was Napoli's only defeat in their last five games, and Spalletti will hope it was merely a one-off.

Referee

Istvan Kovacs of Romania is the referee of AC Milan vs Napoli.

Stadium

AC Milan vs Napoli will be played at San Siro in Milan.

Kick-off and channel

AC Milan vs Napoli kick-off is at 8pm BST on Wednesday 12 April in the UK. The game is being shown on BT Sport 2, BTSport.com and the BT Sport app.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Champions League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Champions League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
