    Pep Guardiola is not expecting an easy ride against Napoli tonight. Here is what he had to say ahead of the encounter: "They have three guys that are so dynamic. [Lorenzo] Insigne, [Dries] Mertens and [Jose] Callejon. They are not guys to just receive long balls. They are so dynamic, good in small spaces and they run in behind and just the right tempo - especially Callejon."
