"Marking their return from September's international break on Saturday lunchtime, Arsenal will know the importance of claiming an immediate response in north London. Heading into the fortnight interval with a late 1-0 loss away at defending champions Liverpool, Mikel Arteta's camp will know the importance of not showing any signs of a hangover here. Desperate to get their hands on a first Premier League crown since way back in 2004, the Gunners will be excited to make a return to the capital this weekend."
"Last seen at the Emirates breezing their way to a routine 5-0 romp against top-flight returners Leeds, Arsenal have suffered just a pair of Premier League defeats in front of their own supporters so far this calendar year. Likewise, landing a thumping 3-0 victory when they last welcomed Nottingham Forest to the red half of north London back in November, Arteta will be dreaming of a repeat performance here."
"With news breaking late on Monday night that Nuno Espírito Santo had dramatically been removed from his position, it has been a sensational week behind the scenes in Nottingham. Now under the guidance of former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, the Australian boss knows that he must hit the ground running. Heading into September's international break with a shock 3-0 drumming at home against West Ham, Saturday's guests have shown some signs of a struggle on either side of the summer interval."
Saturday's Premier League schedule features Arsenal hosting Nottingham Forest as top-flight action resumes after September's international break. Arsenal seek an immediate response following a late 1-0 loss at Liverpool and return to the Emirates after a 5-0 win over Leeds, maintaining strong home form and aiming to reclaim their first league title since 2004. Nottingham Forest underwent a dramatic managerial change with Nuno Espírito Santo removed and Ange Postecoglou appointed, leaving the club to adjust quickly. Forest suffered a 3-0 home defeat to West Ham and showed mixed form around the summer interval despite last season's record-breaking achievements.
