Arsenal fans were left disappointed as their team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan in the Champions League, with captain Hakan Calhanoglu scoring the only goal of the match. The loss has left the Gunners in a low 13th place in the table, with fans calling for Mikel Arteta to drop Leandro Trossard from the starting lineup.

In the midfield, Partey and Rice are expected to be joined by Merino while Martinelli, Havertz and Saka are set to lead the attack.
