Arsenal return to Premier League action this evening, visiting Nottingham Forest as they look to build on their winning run. The Gunners got back to winning ways last time out in the league as they breezed past Leeds, and made it two on the bounce as they put three past LOSC Lille in the Champions League midweek.
High stakes for the Gunners
There is a clear bar for success this afternoon, though. This fixture ended in a drab goalless draw last season, but nothing less than a win will do this time as the Gunners look to keep in touch with the upper echelons of the Premier League table.
Forest are not on wonderful form, either. Oliver Glasner was handed a 3-1 humbling last weekend as he visited his former club Crystal Palace, despite taking the lead after just three minutes at Selhurst Park.
Forest's difficult start
A drab start to the campaign has left the Tricky Trees sitting just 17th in the Premier League table as of Saturday night, with five points from six matches and a solitary win. That came at the expense of Aston Villa in mid-September, though defeat by Coventry before the international break proved cause for genuine concern.
