Arsenal face a tough test in the Premier League when they return from the international break, with the Gunners welcoming Nottingham Forest to the Emirates Stadium later today.
After an impressive start to the season, Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League in recent weeks, with Mikel Arteta’s side failing to win any of their last four Premier League games. A 1-1 draw against Chelsea before the last international break of 2024 meant Arsenal sat fourth in the Premier League table, nine points off the top of the league and three points off 11th.
Next up for the Gunners is a clash against Nottingham Forest, with the Reds the surprise team of the season so far. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are only behind Arsenal on goal difference, while they remain the only side to have beaten Liverpool so far this season. Ben White will be unavailable after undergoing knee surgery, while Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice should both be fit.
