However, Napoli suffered a setback on Thursday as they were knocked out of the Europa League after losing at Villarreal.

Juventus suffered a painful 2-0 defeat last week at the hands of Bologna while AC Milan extended their lead at the top of the table to five points after beating second placed Napoli 3-0.
Tottenham grabbed a surprising success in the first leg by beating AC Milan 1-0 at the San Siro but they will have to hold on to that lead at White Hart lane on Wednesday if they want to book their passage to the next round. AC Milan have bounced back well from that defeat and recorded three consecutive wins in the Serie A, including a 3-0 victory against title rivals Napoli. Tottenham have not been doing so well as they got beaten 3-1 by Blackpool before a 3-3 draw against Wolves.
