  • Recommended Bet: Inter to win

Arsenal head to the San Siro on Tuesday looking to make it seven wins from seven games in the Champions League this season as they take on Serie A leaders Inter.

The Gunners are top of the league-phase standings and virtually assured of a top-eight position and a seeded spot in the round of 16.

Last season's runners-up Inter won their first four games in this term's competition, but have been beaten by Atletico Madrid and Liverpool in their last two European matches.

They are in fine form in Serie A, though, with defending champions Napoli the only side to deny them victory in their last seven outings, and they lead the Scudetto race by three points after Saturday's 1-0 win over Udinese.

Team news

Inter are still missing Hakan Calhanoglu (calf), Denzel Dumfries (ankle), Raffaele Di Gennaro (hand) and Tomas Palacios (thigh).

Alessandro Bastoni and Marcus Thuram could come back into the line-up after dropping to the bench for the league game at Udinese.

Arsenal are without Max Dowman (ankle), Piero Hincapie (thigh) and Riccardo Calafiori (muscle).

Manager Mikel Arteta may opt to rotate his side, with Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber among the candidates to be rested.

Myles Lewis-Skelly could start with Ben White at right-back.

The stats

Arsenal have won all six of their Champions League matches this season, but have failed to score in two of their last four games.

The teams have conceded only five goals between them in 12 league-phase games.

Inter have taken 19 points from their last seven Serie A matches.

Only one goal was scored when the teams met in this competition last season and Inter have kept three clean sheets in their last four games.

Prediction

Inter were the only side to beat Arsenal in last season's Champions League league phase, and history could repeat itself with the Serie A leaders in solid form as they prepare to host the Gunners.

The teams have the two best defensive records in the competition this season, with Arsenal conceding just one goal, in their home win over Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Inter have been breached four times after starting the tournament with three consecutive clean sheets.

Their domestic form has been solid, with three of their last four opponents unable to score, and they have an in-form striker in Lautaro Martinez, who struck the winner at Udinese on Saturday.

Given Arsenal's strong position in the standings, the temptation will be there for Arteta to rest one of two of his stars.

Rice is a prime candidate to sit out, and it will be interesting to see how strong the urge to try to preserve their perfect record is.

The Gunners have not always been at their fluent best in recent games, which have included goalless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest and narrow wins over Bournemouth and Chelsea.

With that in mind, the Serie A leaders are worth backing to repeat last season's San Siro success.
