Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez will lead the Inter attack in a key Champions League match against Arsenal tonight.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at San Siro.

The Nerazzurri must cope without Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Calhanoglu and Raffaele Di Gennaro.

According to Gazzetta, Petar Sucic will start over ex-Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but Sky Sport and Repubblica claim that the Armenian will get the nod in the middle of the park, joining Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski.

This past Saturday, Thuram spent the whole game against Udinese on the bench, but the Frenchman is expected to return to the Nerazzurri XI tonight.

Arsenal have won six Champions League games in a row this term, while the Nerazzurri have lost their last two games in the competition after four consecutive victories.

Inter coach Cristian Chivu said on Monday that Arsenal are the best team in Europe alongside Bayern Munich.

Italy international Riccardo Calafiori is still unavailable for the Gunners.
