Match Stats

Three days after Lautaro Martinez's goal gave Inter Milan a narrow 1-0 win over Venezia, Simone Inzaghi's side defeated Arsenal by the same scoreline in Milan, closing the gap to within two points of the top spot in their Champions League group. Hakan Calhanoglu, making his first start since injury, converted a penalty just before halftime, and Inter defended resolutely to secure the victory.

With four clean sheets so far, Inter are looking tough to break down in Europe and are well on track for a top-eight finish, which would guarantee a place in the Champions League last 16. Back in Serie A, Napoli's surprise defeat leaves them just one point ahead of Inter, keeping the defending champions firmly in the Scudetto race.

Inter have won eight of their last nine matches, with the only setback being a 4-4 draw against Juventus. Having scored in 28 consecutive home games, they are confident heading into Sunday’s clash.

Napoli, meanwhile, will look to bounce back after their 3-0 loss to Atalanta, the first defeat since their season opener. Antonio Conte, facing a former club, is determined to leave Milan with a win. Another loss would see Napoli lose top spot, raising questions about their title challenge. However, their strong recent away form, including clean sheets in four straight matches, gives them hope.
