The Gunners will take on Forest on Saturday, hoping to end a four-match unbeaten streak. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.

Arsenal return from the international break, hoping to go on a positive run that will help them close the gap on table-topping Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta’s men have lost and drawn two each of their last four Premier League matches, the most recent of which was a 1-1 draw away at Chelsea.

Arsenal have won six of their last seven Premier League games against Forest, including the last four.

Forest are winless in their last 10 visits to Arsenal since a 3-1 win in 1989.

However, the visitors are looking to go unbeaten in their first six away games of a campaign since 1995-96.

Arsenal face a growing injury crisis, with the latest addition being Ben White, who has undergone a minor knee operation and is facing a spell on the sidelines. 

Leandro Trossard was forced off during international duty with Belgium, further adding to Arteta's woes. 

The Gunners are also sweating on the fitness of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice, who both withdrew from the England squad due to injury concerns.

Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kieran Tierney, who have recently battled injury issues, are doubtful.

Meanwhile, Ola Aina returned to Nottingham Forest early from international duty with Nigeria, although this was prearranged, but concerns remain over the fitness of Ibrahim Sangare, Elliot Anderson, and Danilo.
