The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Nottingham Forest lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Preview
Nottingham Forest are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form over the past year. The Gunners slumped to a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.
Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.
The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
