The Premier League returns after the September international break, with Arsenal’s intriguing clash against Nottingham Forest kicking off Gameweek 4.
One of the major events of the recent break was Forest’s decision to part ways with Nuno Espirito Santo off the back of a hugely successful 2024–25 campaign.
Ultimately, the deterioration of relationships between Nuno and Forest’s higher-ups cost the Portuguese his job, and Evangelos Marinakis has been flirting with Ange Postecoglou since he was ruthlessly sacked by Tottenham Hotspur.
Thus, we don’t know exactly what to expect from the visitors at the Emirates, with new manager Postecoglou searching for his first victory over Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal were slenderly beaten by title rivals Liverpool before the break, and the manager’s supposedly cautious game plan was a major talking point ahead of the internationals. The Gunners require a return to winning ways on home soil here, with the champions boasting an early advantage at the summit.
Here is guide to this Saturday lunchtime clash.
