Arsenal face Inter Milan in the penultimate round of Champions League league phase matches tonight, with the Gunners looking to seal a place in the top eight as they travel to the San Siro.

Mikel Arteta’s side are essentially guaranteed a top-eight finish – barring two losses and a huge turnaround in goal difference – but they could tighten their grip on top spot with a win in Milan.

However, the Gunners come into a difficult game on a mixed run of form, with wins over Portsmouth and Chelsea coming between back-to-back draws in the Premier League.

And they face an Inter side who are currently leading Serie A, with the Nerazzurri sitting in sixth in the league phase table and themselves looking to all but secure a top eight finish with a win tonight.
