Arsenal returns from the international break desperate for a win after four winless Premier League games in a row.
The Gunners come off the back of a 1-1 draw to Chelsea before the break and dropped down to fourth in the league table and nine points away from league leaders Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta will be pleased however, as his Arsenal squad are a lot healthier than they were before the break but Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney all ruled out for the game.
Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard have all been in doubt for Saturday’s game, however they are all more than likely available to play.
They face a Nottingham Forest side who are the only team to beat Liverpool so far this season as they sit fifth in the league on the same number of points as Arsenal.
Forest however did lose their last game 3-1 against an impressive Newcastle United so Nuno Espirito Santo will be keen to put things right at the Emirates on Saturday.
