The international break is over and attention now turns to one of the biggest periods of Mikel Arteta’s reign at Arsenal. The Gunners play 10 times before 2025 with their fate in three competitions on the line.
After a difficult run, Arsenal are fourth in the Premier League table, nine points off Liverpool at the top. In the Champions League, they sit 12th meaning they are facing a potential play-off to qualify for the knockout stages.
Having failed to win any of their previous four Premier League games, the Gunners will look to return to winning ways this weekend when they take on Nottingham Forest. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are level on points with Arsenal meaning it is set to be a tough test.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are still searching for Edu’s replacement after their former sporting director left the club earlier this month. Paris Saint-Germain’s Luis Campos, Bayer Leverkusen’s Simon Rolfes and ex-Real Sociedad man Roberto Olabe are among those that have been linked with the vacant role.
