Tonight, Arsenal is set to battle Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, aiming for a crucial victory at the iconic San Siro.
Following a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United over the weekend, the Gunners have now gone three games without a win in the Premier League, which includes a draw against Liverpool and a loss to Bournemouth.
Nonetheless, Arsenal has found some solace in European competition, remaining unbeaten in the Champions League this season with seven points from three matches.
On the other hand, Inter Milan has made a strong start to their campaign under coach Simone Inzaghi, as they strive to retain their Serie A title in 2025.
Currently, they are second in the Italian league, just one point behind Napoli after playing 11 games.
Inter has also garnered seven points from their three Champions League outings, including a goalless draw at Manchester City in September.
Inter Milan vs. Arsenal Team Lineups and Predictions
Coach Inzaghi strategically rested several key players for their recent 1-0 victory against Venezia and continues to rotate his squad for the clash with Arsenal.
Matteo Darmian, a former Manchester United player, is shifting to left wing-back position, allowing Federico Dimarco a break. Additionally, Turkey’s Hakan Calhanoglu returns to midfield, while vital playmaker Nicolo Barella starts on the bench, joined by defender Alessandro Bastoni.
Carlos Augusto remains unavailable, though Kristjan Asllani has returned to the bench. Marcus Thuram scored in their last European match, contributing to his total of eight goals this season, but tonight, he will not be leading the attack alongside Lautaro Martinez; instead, Mehdi Taremi will join Martinez in front.
