UEFA Champions League 2013: Celtic meet Barcelona again while Arsenal face Napoli

Champions League resumes with a slate of big games, including a repeat of one of last year’s best games and Napoli’s toughest test of the season thus far.

Jeff J Mitchell

Two of the last Champions League campaign's best matches took place between Celtic and Barcelona, who played to 2-1 wins for the home side in each of their group stage encounters. They've been drawn together again this season, but Celtic won't have Victor Wanyama at the heart of their midfield during this year's match at Parkhead.

In what should be the most evenly matched big game of the day, Arsenal host Napoli. The Neapolitans have adjusted well to a new system and life without Edinson Cavani, going unbeaten in all competitions so far this season. Meanwhile, Arsenal are top of the Premier League table, thanks to the addition of Mesut Özil and the incredible form of Aaron Ramsey, who already has eight goals in all competitions.
