Inter Milan vs Arsenal – LIVE!
Arsenal head to Inter in the Champions League for perhaps their biggest test in the competition yet. Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten in Europe thus far and while they did beat Paris Saint-Germain, Inter will be an entirely different prospect. The reigning Italian champions, they were unfortunate not to have progressed further last year after their penalty shootout in the round of 16 last year.
The trip to San Siro comes at a bad time for the Gunners. Beaten at Newcastle last weekend, Arsenal are without a win in their last three Premier League games and could certainly do with a statement victory before the international break, with Chelsea to come on Sunday.
One of the most iconic grounds in world football, the game against Inter no doubt conjures up memories of one of Arsenal’s greatest ever European nights, the 5-1 victory at San Siro in 2003. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Arsenal should look to Man City in search for Edu replacement
17:58 , Jonathan Gorrie
The resignation of Arsenal’s sporting director Edu on Monday appeared to catch everyone at the club and in the wider game by surprise.
As recently as mid-September, when Arsenal announced a new long-term contract for head coach Mikel Arteta, Edu went on record about his “strong belief in what we want to achieve together” and, as one of the ‘Invincibles’, he felt far more emotionally-invested in the club than your average ambitious executive.

It’s a difficult task for Arsenal, made even harder with the absence of Declan Rice, with Inter on a hugely convincing run of form.
The hosts’ defence can be got at, though, which will give Mikel Arteta hope of coming away from the San Siro with at least a point.
Draw, 1-1.
