Arsenal face Inter Milan in the penultimate round of Champions League league phase matches tonight, with the Gunners looking to seal a place in the top eight as they travel to the San Siro.
Mikel Arteta’s side are essentially guaranteed a top-eight finish – barring two losses and a huge turnaround in goal difference – but they could tighten their grip on top spot with a win in Milan.
However, the Gunners come into a difficult game on a mixed run of form, with wins over Portsmouth and Chelsea coming between back-to-back draws in the Premier League.
And they face an Inter side who are currently leading Serie A, with the Nerazzurri sitting in sixth in the league phase table and themselves looking to all but secure a top eight finish with a win tonight.

Arsenal will hope to get back to winning ways as they travel to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
The Gunners go to the San Siro off back-to-back draws in the Premier League, though this slight blip has not yet done any damage to their title push with Manchester City’s shortfalls allowing them to go seven points clear.
Results have been no problem for Arsenal in Europe, however, with Mikel Arteta’s side sitting pretty at the top of the table as they remain the only side to boast a 100 percent record in the league phase.
Inter, meanwhile, will hope to solidify their chances of a top-eight finish having lost two consecutive outings in the Champions League, the most recent continental defeat coming at home to Liverpool in December.
