Starting Lineups for Inter vs Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League

AC Milan’s Inter will host London’s Arsenal today, January 20, in the seventh and penultimate round of the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League season. The match will take place at San Siro Stadium, with kick-off scheduled according to UEFA’s official timetable.

The fixture is of particular importance primarily for the hosts. After a confident start to their European campaign with four consecutive victories, the Nerazzurri suffered two defeats — against Atlético Madrid and Liverpool. Those setbacks dropped Inter to sixth place in the standings, leaving the battle for direct qualification to the round of 16 extremely tight.

Arsenal, meanwhile, secured a place in the top eight of the league phase two rounds before the end. The London side travel to Milan without any tournament pressure, although this does not diminish the significance or intensity of the clash.

Kick-off is scheduled for 11:00 PM Moscow time and 12:00 AM Yerevan time. The match will be broadcast on OKKO TV in Russia and on Fast Sports in Armenia.

Inter’s Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start the match against his former club on the bench.
