Arsenal take on Nottingham Forest in Premier League action at the Emirates this afternoon.
The Gunners are looking to bounce back after a limp defeat away to Liverpool before the international break.
It’s been all change at Forest since their last game – that harrowing 3-0 defeat at home to West Ham United. Nuno Espirito Santo, the man who guided them back into Europe last season, is out with a familiar face in the dugout in north London today.
Just three months after being sacked by Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou is back on the saddle, immediately finding himself back in the capital where he will be seeking the perfect start today.
If he is to do that, he’ll have to end a pretty poor record he has up against Mikel Arteta, losing three of his four meetings with Arsenal during his time in charge at Spurs.
