Rafa Benitez is an old hand at the Europa League, having won the trophy twice before, so can he make it a record three?

The Partenopei put themselves firmly in the driving seat as favourites after demolishing Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals and now host Ukrainians Dnipro.

Jonathan de Guzman, Juan Camilo Zuniga and Michu are out injured, while Lorenzo Insigne and Manolo Gabbiadini are ready to come off the bench in the second half.

Benitez brings in Insigne rather than Dries Mertens to join Callejon and Hamsik supporting hitman Pipita Higuain.

There’s a surprise in midfield, where the more creative Jorginho is picked ahead of Gokhan Inler, while Duvan Zapata isn't even on the bench.

Dnipro miss Ondrej Mazuch, Egidio, Yevhen Shakhov and Roman Zozulya for this trip to the Stadio San Paolo.

Yevhen Konoplyanka is the breakout star who is tipped for a big money summer transfer, supporting striker Nikola Kalinic.
