Arsenal all-but guarantee top spot in the Champions League table with a win over Inter Milan at the San Siro tonight.

After beating Club Brugge 3-0 away from home last time out in Europe, we sit three points clear at the top of the table with just two games remaining. We also boast a +5 goal difference over second placed Bayern Munich, so victory tonight would virtually secure first place.

Mikel Arteta has made seven changes from the side that played out a disappointing 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest at the weekend. David Raya keeps his place in goal while Jurrien Timber moves across to right-back with Myles Lewis-Skelly recalled on the left.

Gabriel Magalhaes is given a rest with Cristhian Mosquera back in the eleven alongside William Saliba. Martin Zubimendi retains his place in the holding role while Mikel Merino is recalled with Declan Rice given a rest.

Martin Odegaard also drops out with Eberechi Eze handed a start in the attacking midfield role. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard come back in to the Arsenal side on the wings meaning Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke make way to the bench.

Viktor Gyokeres is dropped to the bench with Gabriel Jesus starting up front. Kai Havertz is named among the Arsenal substitutes.

These are the line-ups:

Arsenal

Raya, Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly, Merino, Zubimendi, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Jesus

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Setford, White, Gabriel, Norgaard, Rice, Nwaneri, Odegaard, Martinelli, Madueke, Gyokeres, Havertz.

Inter Milan

Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram

Subs: Martinez, De Vrij, Bonny, Frattesi, Diouf, Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto, Bisseck, Darmian, Calligaris, Cocchi, Esposito.
