Inter Milan v Arsenal: Line-ups confirmed as Eze starts for Gunners
Arsenal have won every CL game so far
Arsenal are looking to secure a top-eight finish in the Champions League, as they put their perfect record on the line at San Siro when they lock horns with Inter Milan.
The Gunners are already confirmed of at least a play-off place while last year’s finalists start the night in sixth spot.
Six points and five places separate the two European heavyweights in the league-phase table, with the Nerazzurri eager to avoid an unwanted early exit scenario.
Inter Milan were close to flawless in the opening rounds of the competition, winning each of their first four Champions League matches while conceding just one goal, but Cristian Chivu’s side have since seen their aura of invincibility fade.
Back-to-back defeats against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have stalled their momentum, with the latter ending Inter’s 18-game unbeaten home run in the Champions League courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty at San Siro.
Arsenal arrive in Milan boasting the best defensive record in the Champions League this season, conceding just once across six matches, a goal that came in their statement win over Bayern Munich.
Here’s how they line up.
