Despite having one of the most productive summer transfer windows in recent memory, Nottingham Forest struggled to start the season on a positive note.
Arsenal will be keen to bounce back quickly from midweek disappointment when they host Nottingham Forest in Premier League. The London side suffered the first defeat of their Europa League campaign on Thursday night. Prior to that, they had to settle for a draw in the league last weekend. Hence, the Gunners will be eager to get back to winning ways when they welcome the bottom side of the table. However, this match will be no pushover for the hosts since Nottingham will be heading into it full of confidence.

Despite having one of the most productive summer transfer windows in recent memory, Nottingham Forest struggled to start the season on a positive note. They were rooted to the bottom spot and had only one win to their name, up until last week. To everyone’s surprise, Nottingham stunned Liverpool 1-0 to register only their second win of the campaign. Arsenal will be fully aware of the challenge at hand against a confidence-filled Nottingham side. The Gunners are still in a decent position, sitting at the top of the table, with 28 points from 11 matches. However, they will be keen to maintain that lead on Sunday.

Besides, it is not clear when Oleksandr Zinchenko will be back, while Matt Turner and Marquinhos continue to be injury doubts.
