Champions League football returns, and Arsenal are back in the thick of it as they travel to Milan to face Inter at the iconic San Siro.
The Gunners will be determined to sustain their brilliance in Europe’s premier competition. Having played six matches, they boast a flawless record of six wins, conceding just one goal.
Ahead of this clash with Inter, Arsenal have already toppled giants such as Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid. With those scalps under their belt, the boys in red and white should have all the motivation required to get the job done.
Even so, some voices have urged Mikel Arteta to rest key players, mindful of the looming clash with Manchester United. Yet it seems unlikely the Spaniard will sacrifice momentum in this fixture. Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori remain sidelined through injury, but Arsenal still travel with a strong squad.
Indeed, Arteta is expected to go full strength, and Gooners should not be surprised if he fields this line-up:
Raya
Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly
Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard
Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
That selection arguably represents Arsenal at their most formidable.
History between the sides suggests a finely balanced contest: in their last four meetings, Arsenal have won twice and lost twice. Inter arrive unbeaten in eight games, while Arsenal are undefeated in eleven. All signs point to a mouth-watering clash.
Ultimately, the Gunners will hope to leave the San Siro with all three points, further cementing their place at the summit of the Champions League table and cementing their progress in the next round.
