Arsenal will be welcomed to the San Siro to take on Serie A champions Inter Milan in the fourth Champions League game of the season on Wednesday night, with the Gunners looking to get back to winning ways.
Mikel Arteta’s side suffered defeat in the Premier League at the weekend as Newcastle claimed a 1-0 win at St James’ Park, while Simone Inzaghi led his side to a 1-0 win over Venezia to close the gap at the top of the table to just one point after Napoli lost.
Both sides have huge games this weekend in their domestic leagues too so the managers will have some big decisions to make on their starting lineups.
Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Partey, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Sterling; Havertz.
With Declan Rice not travelling with the Gunners squad for the game, it should allow Ben White to come back into the team at right-back and for Thomas Partey to move back into his more natural midfield role. Gabriel Martinelli’s form hasn’t been great either, so it could be a good opportunity for the £180,000-per-week winger to drop out of the team and Raheem Sterling to get a rare start on the left-wing too, while Odegaard is unlikely to come straight back into the team after so long out.
