Inter Milan vs Arsenal - Champions League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups

Arsenal have plenty of history in this city. Back in 2003, they became the first English side to beat Inter at San Siro, before achieving the same against A.C. Milan five years later. How the Gunners could do with another memorable night at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Inter Milan vs Arsenal Preview

Can Arsenal claim a much-needed victory, easing the mounting mood of negativity in North London? On Saturday, the Gunners were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle at St James' Park, conceding early and rarely threatening after that, putting in one of their most lacklustre displays for many a year. This has seen them slide down to fifth in the Premier League table, five points below Man City and seven adrift leaders Liverpool, having failed to win any of their last three, also beaten 2-0 at Bournemouth a fortnight earlier. Continued underwhelming displays is leaving a question mark over Mikel Arteta for the first time in years, and the pressure will only mount further if this trip to Italy and then Sunday's clash with Chelsea go badly too.

In the Champions League, Arsenal are actually in a healthy position, picking up seven points so far, holding Atalanta to a goalless draw in nearby Bergamo, before beating both Paris Saint-Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk at home. On the road however, the Gunners have won only one of their last seven Champions League away games, defeating a pitifully poor Sevilla side in Andalusia a year ago. In fact, Arsenal have not beaten a European juggernaut away from home in this competition since a 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund exactly 11 years ago, this on 6 November 2013, so now would be a good time to change this fact.

Internazionale Milano meantime, similar to their visitors, also have seven points on the board, holding Manchester City to a credible goalless draw at the Etihad, before smashing Crvena zvezda 4-0 at home. A fortnight ago, I Nerazzurri looked set to only draw with Young Boys, Marko Arnautović seeing a second half penalty saved in Bern, only for Marcus Thuram to poke home a winner in the dying embers of stoppage time.

Reigning Scudetto holders, Simone Inzaghi's side battled to a 1-0 win over Venezia on Sunday night, Lautaro Martínez the only scorer, although they were very fortunate that gli Arancioneroverdi had an injury time equaliser ruled out by VAR for handball. This saw Inter climb up to second in Serie A, one point behind Napoli, who they welcome to San Siro this forthcoming Sunday night for a crucial encounter. Il Biscione have lost only once in 14 matches so far this season, defeated during September's Derby della Madonnina, hence why Inter fancy their chances of making home advantage count.

Inter Milan Team News

Having missed the last three games due to an abductor injury, Hakan Çalhanoğlu came off the bench on Sunday, so could displace Piotr Zieliński at the base of midfield in Simone Inzaghi's tried-and-trusted 3-5-2. Canadian Tajon Buchanan hasn't featured since suffering a broken tibia at the Copa América but, after remaining on the bench for the last three fixtures, will be itching to make his return. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to face the side for whom he made 59 appearances, deployed alongside Nicolò Barella, who is Inter's creator in chief.

Inter Milan predicted lineup vs Arsenal: (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, de Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco; Thuram, Martínez.

Inter Milan Players to Watch vs Arsenal

In an attacking sense, this team is all about the front two. Lautaro Martínez bagged his sixth of the season at the weekend, while last season's Capocannoniere has now netted 135 times for Inter, only five men have more. Marcus Thuram meantime has been on target on eight occasions so far this season, snatching victory in Switzerland a fortnight ago, so this pair are likely to cause Arsenal all sorts of problems.

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal travel to Lombardy without Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney, while there has been some reporting that Martin Ødegaard could be on the bench, having not featured since suffering an ankle injury on international duty on 9 September. Benjamin White was only fit enough to feature for 20 minutes on Saturday, but could return at full-back, either affording Jurriën Timber a rest or allowing Thomas Partey to return to midfield. Ethan Nwaneri was the star of the show against Preston last Wednesday, scoring a stunner at Deepdale, with supporters clamouring to see more of the 17 year old.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Inter Milan: (4-4-2): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Partey, Rice, Saka, Martinelli; Trossard, Havertz.

Arsenal Player to Watch vs Inter Milan

David Raya is yet to concede a goal in the Champions League this season, making some stunning saves along the way, and will need to be at his best to maintain that record in Milan.

Inter Milan vs Arsenal Prediction

We're expecting this clash to be low-scoring, with Inter edging it and claiming victory. Arsenal continue to lack creativity in Ødegaard's absence and the Gunners' long-standing pitiful Champions League away record suggests San Siro will witness a home win: Inter Milan 1-0 Arsenal.
