Arsenal carry a perfect Champions League record (and a second place Premier League standing) into a tricky trip to the City Ground this Sunday.
The defending champions sit just three points behind Manchester City and face a Nottingham Forest side that’s struggling under new manager Oliver Glasner and needs points badly.

Arsenal look to keep up momentum
Mikel Arteta’s team has won five of its first six Premier League games and eight of its first nine in all competitions.
Arsenal have lost just twice on the road in the last 10 months, at Manchester City and Brighton. Next up is a huge Champions League trip to Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
Forest hope for home advantage
Forest has amassed just five points from six games, with one win, two draws and three losses.
It most recently lost 3-1 at Crystal Palace, manager Oliver Glasner’s former club, last weekend. Forest have only lost once at home to Arsenal in their last six City Ground meetings in all competitions, so all eyes are on Nottingham to see if home ground advantage will help.
Team news
Forest are without defenders Nikola Milenkovic and Nicolo Savona, and striker Igor Jesus. Arsenal’s injury list includes Piero Hincapie and Christos Tzolis.
Predicted lineups
- Nottingham Forest: Sels; Cunha, Diomande, Murillo; Munoz, McAtee, Schlager, Aina; Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Delap.
- Arsenal: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Odegaard, Eze; Havertz.
