Arsenal travel to Italy this evening when they take on Inter Milan in the league phase of the Champions League. The Gunners have made a strong start to their European campaign but sit just outside the automatic qualifying spots after three games.
Mikel Arteta’s men are unbeaten from their first three matches with wins over Paris Saint-Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk following a goalless draw with Atalanta on the opening gameweek. The Champions League offers Arsenal the chance to get back to winning ways after losing to Newcastle at the weekend. They have seven points and will keep in touch with the teams near the top of the table should they leave the San Siro victorious.
For their part, Inter Milan have similarly performed well with confident wins over Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade coming after a draw against Man City. They are currently second in the Serie A table and are on an eight-game unbeaten streak since a 2-1 loss to AC Milan in September.

Inter Milan early team news
Alessandro Bastoni exited Inter’s league win against Venezia prematurely to spark injury fears, but it appears the defender was only dealing with cramp rather than anything more serious. He may therefore take up his place in Simone Inzaghi‘s back three.

Inter vs Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a significant set-back in their title chase with a defeat at Newcastle on Saturday, with a couple of key injuries unsettling the London club’s squad.
They have made a solid start in this competition, though, with two wins and a draw from their first three games leaving them well placed.
Inter, meanwhile, have the same record and like their visitors are yet to concede a Champions League goal this season.

Arsenal have been in a poor run of form and Mikel Arteta will be hoping his team can emulate Liverpool with a convincing European win tonight.
