"Inter Milan were close to flawless in the opening rounds of the competition, winning each of their first four Champions League matches while conceding just one goal, but Cristian Chivu's side have since seen their aura of invincibility fade. Back-to-back defeats against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have stalled their momentum, with the latter ending Inter's 18-game unbeaten home run in the Champions League courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty at San Siro."
"Arsenal arrive in Milan boasting the best defensive record in the Champions League this season, conceding just once across six matches, a goal that came in their statement win over Bayern Munich. Mikel Arteta's side followed that up with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Club Brugge, leaving the Gunners on the brink of securing a top-eight finish and automatic qualification for the last 16."

Six points and five places separate the teams in the group standings. Inter won their first four matches while conceding only once, but defeats to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have damaged their momentum and ended an 18-game unbeaten home run in the competition. Arsenal have conceded once in six matches and followed a statement win over Bayern Munich with a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge. Arsenal's Premier League form has dipped with consecutive goalless draws, while Inter must manage several injury absences.
