Nottingham Forest will hope to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend when they host Arsenal this afternoon.
It has been a slow start for new boss Oliver Glasner and, although his side played well on his return to Selhurst Park, they slipped to their third defeat in six games and start this clash inside the relegation zone.
Arsenal have responded impressively since the Brighton hammering on September 19. They came from behind to beat Leeds 2-1 at the Emirates and then swept Lille aside 3-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday. It was goalless at half-time, but Jurriën Timber, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka scored in seven second-half minutes. That made it 14 straight wins in the Champions League league phase, and Arsenal are now level with Barcelona and Sporting CP at the top of the table.
“We have responded really well in the last two games, two very good performances and results, and now we just focus on the game against Forest, which I know is going to be a really tough one,” boss Mikel Arteta said.
Nottingham Forest versus Arsenal kicks off at 4:30pm BST on Sunday, October 18 at the City Ground.
The match is live on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK. In the US, it’s on Peacock at 11:30am ET.
