The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Nottingham Forest lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important encounter at the City Ground on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Preview
Nottingham Forest are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Chelsea last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have slumped after an exceptional start to their campaign. The Gunners suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
