Arsenal will look to move back within three points of Premier League leaders Manchester City when they visit Nottingham Forest this afternoon.
The Gunners edged out Leeds last weekend and cruised past Lille in the Champions League in midweek.
Forest’s start under Oliver Glasner has been a struggle. They sit 15th with five points from six games. Glasner has now won just five of his last 29 top-flight matches dating back to December last year, when he was still in charge at Crystal Palace.
Last Sunday’s 3-1 defeat on his return to Selhurst Park summed up their season. Forest had 24 shots and racked up 3.36 expected goals, but Dan Ndoye’s early goal was all they had to show for it. No team in the Premier League has underperformed their expected goals more this season, and Forest have failed to score in three of their six league games.
The underlying numbers do suggest they have been unlucky, though. Forest’s expected points total ranks third in the Premier League, behind only Arsenal and Manchester City, and only Arsenal have conceded fewer expected goals.
Arteta will also be wary of the City Ground. The last two league meetings here both finished goalless, despite 40 shots between the sides. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Forest, winning three of them.
