Arsenal FC vs Nottingham Forest Team News
Arsenal FC Team News
Arsenal’s transfer window ended in major drama concerning the purchase of Viktor Gyökeres, which fans still argue about. Either way, he’s become a de facto starter, likely due to Kai Havertz’s absence.
However, issues from last season persist. Against Liverpool, Mikel Arteta opted for a defensive plan, which ended in a 0-1 defeat. Though both teams had their chances, the Gunners were often reluctant to push forward and consistently gave too much space to their opponent. With the investment Arteta has received, there are valid reasons to question his methods.
In other matches, Arsenal defeated Leeds 5-0 and Manchester United 1-0, though fans still expect more.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz will be absent due to injury.
Arsenal FC predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-3-3): Raya; Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber; Zubimendi, Rice, Ødegaard; Eze, Gyökeres, Madueke.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Most successful coaches get unlimited transfers, an improved salary, or other guarantees. Yet Nottingham Forest owner Marinakis thinks otherwise, as he fired manager Nuno Espirito Santo earlier in the week. Instead, Ange Postecoglou, who was dismissed by Tottenham after winning the Europa League, was appointed to the role.
Sacking a coach four games into the season is generally a bad idea. What may be even worse is going from a defence-oriented specialist like Nuno to an all-attack one like Ange.
The details behind Nuno’s dismissal are unclear, though Marinakis has never been known to be a patient leader. It’s rather challenging to predict how Ange will take on the job, especially against a major rival like Arsenal.
Nicolas Dóminguez will be absent due to injury.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Arsenal FC (4-2-3-1): Seis; Williams, Murillo, Milenković, Aina; Anderson, Sangaré; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Wood.

Arsenal FC vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, Odds
- Prediction: Arsenal FC to win
- Odds: -251 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Arsenal FC 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Arsenal may have struggled against Nottingham Forest last season, which is not uncommon for Mikel Arteta when his team face low blocks. This would be especially true without Saka, whose injury only makes matters even more difficult.
However, a different outcome is expected this weekend. With the match taking place at the Emirates (the 0-0 draw was in Nottingham), the dynamic of the game should be different. Most importantly, it’s unclear whether Postecoglou will look to continue Nuno’s defensive approach (unlikely) or implement a similar style to the one he used at Tottenham.
Arsenal FC vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tip
- Pick: Viktor Gyökeres to score
- Odds: +100 (Tonybet)
Gyökeres has been one of the most important players of the summer, notably because of his price tag. He’s considered one of the supposed haymakers of Arteta’s system, but he’s struggled to adapt so far.
The upcoming match against Nottingham is one of the best opportunities he’s got to prove himself before fans start doubting his skills. He will face a confused defence, which will have just changed systems, ideal for his physical dominance to help him score.
