Overview
- Inter host Arsenal at San Siro on Tuesday, 20 January, in the Champions League league phase.
- Inter sit sixth on 12 points after four wins followed by two defeats, leaving direct round‑of‑16 entry still attainable with results in the final two games.
- Arsenal arrive as the competition’s pace‑setters with six wins from six and as Premier League leaders.
- Cristian Chivu is set to start Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram, with goalkeeper Josep Martinez back on the bench, while Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Denzel Dumfries are out injured.
- A home win would improve Inter’s chances of skipping the February playoff dates and is reported to be worth about €11 million, with a sellout expected including over 4,000 Arsenal supporters.
