Nottingham Forest
- Arsenal could be without as many as seven players through injury for the welcome of Nottingham Forest.
- Ben White is set for a spell on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery, while Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard will all require assessment.
- Kieran Tierney has returned to training, though this one comes too soon for the Scot, leaving Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko battling to start at left-back on Saturday.
- Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare miss out due to injury, while Elliot Andersen is a doubt.

Arsenal Win
Arsenal defender Ben White has been ruled out for "months" after having knee surgery, manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
Off late Nottingham not a joke draw or away
Arsenal top players are back. This should be a routine win.
@GoonerRSA Depends who returns fit.They will also have one eye on Tuesdays UCL game at Sporting Lisbon.
I doubt Zinchenko will start. More likely to see Timber or Kiwior there. Tierney is back in training. Trossard is definitely out with a hamstring injury.
@Overmars isn't Calafiori fit? Do you think he comes straight in?
Both teams have scored in 5 of Forests last 7 EPL away matches.
I predict a close, hard fought match. 2-1 to the Arsenal.
draw or under 2.5
We have to shut down their wingers. Play the full backs deep or man to man. Starve their wingers of the ball and they don't offer as much threat.
