The first legs of both the Arsenal v Milan and Chelsea v Napoli ties will be played in Italy in February 2012, with the return legs taking place in March 2012. However both Arsenal and Chelsea will play the return legs at home- an advantage for the London outfits.

This is the first meeting between Chelsea and Napoli in the Champions League, while Arsenal eliminated Milan at this stage of the 2007-08 season.

Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas tweeted ” “Woooow Arsenal vs Milan!!!! What a draw!!!!”

AC Milan director Umberto Gandini ” Tie of the round. For the quality and the appeal of the two clubs it is a fantastic tie. Last time we lost 2-0 to Arsenal at the San Siro and we were knocked out by Tottenham last year. We are determined to go through”

Jack Wilshere on Twitter ” Hard draw but you have to beat the best to win it! Looking forward to it! #Gooners”
