Game of the Day: Inter vs. Arsenal
Player to watch: Declan Rice, Arsenal - With Inter’s midfield aging and underperforming, Rice’s dynamic presence could provide Arsenal with the advantage needed to control the game. – James Benge
Best bet: Under 2.5 goals - With two of the best defenses competing, scoring may be limited, making a draw favorable for both teams.
