There’s certainly a few interesting narratives when Arsenal face Inter Milan in match day four of the Champions League.

Both Arsenal and Inter Milan are unbeaten after their opening three games in the competition, Mikel Arteta and Simone Inzaghi’s side sit level on seven points.

Neither side will be content with entering the play-offs once the new group stage of the Champions League is concluded, with both eyeing a spot in the top eight automatic places.

Arsenal are expected to name a strong team against Inter Milan, and there could be one or two changes from the defeat at Newcastle United.

One of those could be the return of Ben White to the starting XI, who will be hoping to stop Lautaro Martinez and co.

Martinez was heavily linked with Arsenal back in 2023, and the Inter captain may be out to prove a point at the San Siro.

Simone Inzaghi makes Mikel Arteta comment before facing Arsenal

Speaking at his press conference before facing Arsenal, Inter manager Inzaghi made some interesting claims about both Arteta and his side.

As well as complimenting the strength of Arsenal these days, the Italian claimed that his opposition have a ‘recognisable game plan’, one he’ll be looking to exploit.

Inzaghi said: “We know what awaits us, before the break we have two important games and we will try to play two great matches.

“We are playing against two very strong teams, but our focus now is only on tomorrow.

“They have a recognizable game plan, a great coach in Arteta and are therefore one of the strongest teams in Europe.”

Arsenal hoping to repeat their famous 5-1 victory over Inter Milan

Ahead of facing Inter at the San Siro, Arsenal fans of a certain age might be recalling a famous night from 2003.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal side famously won 5-1 thanks to goals from Freddie Ljungberg, Edu Gaspar, Robert Pires and Thierry Henry, who netted twice.

Against such a strong Inter side this time around, Arsenal will likely be content with a win of any variety, a game in which they’ll want to recover some confidence from.

Raheem Sterling has disappointed at Arsenal so far, but perhaps his experience could be key in Italy, a player who won’t be eligible to face his parent club Chelsea on the weekend.
