Champions League line-ups: Inter vs. Arsenal | OneFootball

Lautaro Martinez, Mehdi Taremi and Hakan Calhanoglu lead the way for Inter against Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz.

It kicks off at San Siro at 20.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Stuttgart-Atalanta on the Liveblog.

This could be a tight match, because both sides are yet to concede a goal in the Champions League this season and are on seven points.

The Nerazzurri earned a 0-0 away to Manchester City, followed by victories over Crvena Zvezda and Young Boys.

Calhanoglu is back in the starting XI for the first time in a month after a muscular issue on international duty with Turkey.

Francesco Acerbi and Kristjan Asllani are still only fit for the bench and Carlos Augusto is out of action, but with the Scudetto showdown against Napoli coming up this weekend, Simone Inzaghi rests Marcus Thuram, Nicolò Barella, Federico Dimarco and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Arsenal drew 0-0 away to Atalanta before beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 and Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0, but have been stuttering lately in the Premier League with one point from three rounds.

Injuries also piled up for Italy international Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, Kiernan Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu, but Martin Odegaard is available again for the first time since spraining his ankle in early September.

Saka and Gabriel Martinelli provide pace down the flanks, with Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard upfront.

The only other time Arsenal played Inter here, they emerged with a 5-1 victory in November 2003.
