Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed his starting line-up for the Champions League clash against Inter Milan on the road tonight.

The Gunners played out a frustrating 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last weekend, and will be aiming to return to winning ways against the Nerazzurri at San Siro.

Ahead of the game, Arteta has made seven changes to the XI.

David Raya continues in goal for the Gunners, but there are a couple of changes in the backline. Cristhian Mosquera and Myles Lewis-Skelly replace Gabriel Magalhaes and Ben White in the four man defence.

Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Mosquera and Lewis-Skelly are the back four. In midfield, Martin Zubimendi starts from his regular no.6 role.

However, there are changes elsewhere in midfield. Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard drop out to be replaced by Mikel Merino and Eberechi Eze.

Similarly, there are three changes in the frontline too. Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus come into the first XI.

Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres, who started last weekend, have dropped down to the substitutes’ bench.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Inter: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Merino, Eze; Saka, Jesus, Trossard.
