The match at the Diego Maradona kicks off at 19.45 UK time.
The last four started with a 2-1 win for Juventus over Inter at San Siro and continues with the first leg between the Partenopei and La Dea tonight.

Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso seems set to make some changes against Atalanta in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
The match at the Diego Maradona kicks off at 19.45 UK time.
The last four started with a 2-1 win for Juventus over Inter at San Siro and continues with the first leg between the Partenopei and La Dea tonight.
Gattuso, who has been through some turbulent weeks in Naples, must cope without Dries Mertens and Rabian Ruiz.
But the Azzurri are ready to make changes from the 2-0 win against Parma in Serie A. Tiemoue Bakayoko seems set to start with Diego Demme in the middle and Matteo Politano, who scored the second goals last weekend, should be back in the starting line-up.
Napoli have Victor Osimhen available, but the Nigerian striker will most likely start on the bench, when Hirving Lozano and Lorenzo Insigne complete the attacking trident.
Atalanta arrive with Cristiano Romero back at Gian Piero Gasperini’s disposal, as the defender returned to training from a ‘false positivity’ for coronavirus.
Josip Ilicic and Duvan Zapata are tipped to start up front against the Partenopei, with Matteo Pessina in support.
Napoli (probable): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Bakayoko, Demme, Zielinski; Politano, Lozano, Insigne
Atalanta (probable): Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Maehle, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Pessina, Ilicic, Zapata
Referee: Fabbri
