Having finally escaped the danger zone in the Premier League, Swansea aim for some European success as well as they prepare to host Napoli in the first leg of Europa League Last 32 Stage clash.

The Azzurri go into the game at Liberty Stadium in great spirits and determined to prove why they are considered one of the main candidates for the coveted title.

Many were shocked by the club’s decision to sack coach Michael Laudrup after the team had slipped into the danger zone, but his replacement Garry Monk largely impressed after taking over the reigns.

The Swans enjoyed an impressive 3-0 triumph over South Wales rivals Cardiff City, before holding Stoke City to a 1-1 draw at Britannia.

Swansea did lose to Everton in the FA Cup fifth round at the weekend, but the boss clearly sacrificed the game having fielded a severely weakened line-up.

This is enough to suggest the Swans will be at full strength against Napoli, although they are, nonetheless, 3.25 (9/4) to win the first leg.

Jonjo Shelvey and Michu could both return into action against the Azzurri, whereas a number of players will be recalled after they were rested at the weekend.

Swansea have been far from convincing in European games at Liberty Stadium, having won just one of three group fixtures on home soil.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Vorm – Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies – de Guzman, Britton – Dyer, Hernandez, Routledge – Bony.

Napoli were extremely unfortunate to be placed in the Champions League group of death, but Rafael Benitez’s side did really well to pick up 12 points from 6 group fixtures.

Ultimately, that did not prove sufficient to qualify for the knockout stages as the Azzurri missed out on a place by virtue of goal difference alone, but at least they can continue their European campaign in Europa League.

Having suffered a small dip in form at the beginning of February, Napoli have returned to the right track by recording three straight victories.

This has seen them pip Roma to a place in the Coppa Italia final, while also cementing a top 3 position in Serie A.

As a result, the visitors can fully focus on their Europa League clash against Swansea, where they are 2.50 (3/2) to win the first leg.

Pepe Reina, Gonzalo Higuain and Valon Behrami are all in the squad despite missing training on Tuesday, but Federico Fernandez is banned and Camilo Zuniga and Giandomenico Mesto are injured. January signing Jorginho is ineligible.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Reina – Maggio, Albiol, Henrique, Reveillere – Inler, Dzemaili – Callejon, Hamsik, Mertens – Higuain.
