Inter Milan vs Arsenal FC: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
The Gunners are the only side in this season’s league phase to have won every game so far, though that record will be put to the test by the Serie A giants.
While Arsenal have guaranteed themselves a play-off place with two matches to spare, there is still some work to be done to ensure they qualify directly for the round of 16.
Inter, meanwhile, have lost their last two Champions League games – at home to Liverpool and away at Atletico Madrid – so need a win to get back on track with regards to sealing a top-eight finish.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Inter Milan vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
The match will take place at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Inter Milan vs Arsenal team news
Inter are set to be without influential midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu for the visit of Arsenal as the Turkey international suffered a muscle strain in his left calf during the 2-2 draw with title rivals Napoli earlier in the month.
Denzel Dumfries, a key member of the Nerazzurri’s run to last season’s Champions League final is also out injured but Alessandro Bastoni and Marcus Thuram are expected to start having been rested for the win over Udinese at the weekend.
As for Arsenal, their injury crisis has eased in recent weeks. The return of Cristhian Mosquera to the matchday squad against Forest leaves Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori as the two senior players on the treatment table.
Neither Hincapie or Calafiori trained on Monday which means Jurrien Timber is set to continue at left-back unless Mikel Arteta opts to hand Myles Lewis-Skelly a recall.
Viktor Gyokeres struggled at the weekend and could be replaced by either Kai Havertz or Gabriel Jesus, while Eberechi Eze, Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino are pushing to start.

Inter Milan vs Arsenal prediction
This is a tough one to call. Arsenal will almost certainly qualify for the round of 16 and therefore, Arteta may pick a team with one eye on Sunday’s Premier League showdown against Manchester United.
Inter, on the other hand, are in danger of missing out on a top-eight finish so perhaps have the greater need for a win.
If last season’s meeting is any indication, one goal will be enough to settle this one.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Arsenal’s one and only win over Inter Milan in three attempts was that stunning 5-1 success at the San Siro in November 2003.
