Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal LIVE: Latest score and updates from Premier League

The Gunners travel to the East Midlands hoping to avoid successive defeats away from home in the Premier League, with the 3-0 defeat to Brighton a month ago still very much fresh in the memory. Mikel Arteta's side, though, should be in good spirits at the City Ground after beating Lille in midweek to continue their 100 percent winning start to the league phase of this season's Champions League.

However, preparations have been disrupted by a fresh injury blow to Piero Hincapie following last weekend's win over Leeds. That said, Martin Zubimendi could return, while Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are expected to start.

Forest, meanwhile, began the day a point clear of the relegation zone after suffering back-to-back defeats either side of the international break. Oliver Glasner will hope to have influential midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White available for selection as he aims to get the season up and running.
