The City Ground has not been a happy hunting ground for Mikel Arteta, who has won just one of his five visits to Nottingham Forest as Arsenal manager.

His team, however, travel to the East Midlands in fine form after swatting aside Leeds and Lille on the back of the international break.

Arsenal will be keen to close the gap on Manchester City with victory but Arteta is also likely to have one eye on Wednesday's Champions League trip to Bayern Munich.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi is pushing to return while the Gunners will be without Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis and William Saliba as they look to return back to north London with all three points.

You can keep posted on all the action below.
