Arsenal XI vs Inter Milan: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League | OneFootball

Gunners set to rotate with important fixture looming at the weekend

The Gunners have won all six of their Champions League matches so far - the only club with a 100 per cent record in the League Phase - so can look forward to a last-16 spot.

With Arsenal hosting Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend, Arteta could decide to keep some of his stars fresh by resting them against Inter.

Asked how strong a side he might name, Arteta responded: "Let's see. After a really good night of sleep, we'll see how it goes."

Arsenal remain without Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Max Dowman, with the trio not travelling to Milan.

Cristhian Mosquera is available, having been named on the bench last time out against Nottingham Forest, and could get his first minutes in more than six weeks.

Kai Havertz is also expected to be involved in some capacity, though it remains to be seen whether he is ready to start.

Arteta revealed after the draw with Forest that Bukayo Saka had been managing a "niggle" and he could opt to avoid any risks by leaving the winger on the bench.

If there is rotation, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Jesus and Mikel Merino are prime candidates to come into the side.

Eze's appearance against Portsmouth in the FA Cup a week ago was his only start in any competition for almost a month.

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino, Eze; Madueke, Jesus, Trossard

Injured: Calafiori, Hincapie, Dowman
