Napoli will attack Manchester City during this evening's Champions League match, according to coach Walter Mazzarri.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri has suggested that he will set his team out to attack Manchester City this evening.

Like hosts City, Napoli will be making their debut in the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium.

Mazzarri has called upon his players to use their previous experience of European football gained in the Europa League last season to get them through tonight's encounter.

"I expect my team to do as they did last year against Liverpool and Villarreal," the manager told a press conference.

"We went there and attacked the game. There are stronger teams in the competition but we will always try to play attacking football."

Napoli finished third in Serie A last season.
