Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Lineups and Last Match
Arsenal
The Gunners weren't expected to upset the odds in last weekend's Community Shield but gave as good as they got during the 90-minutes. Man City looked like they had won the game thanks to a 77th-minute goal from substitute Palmer but in the 11th-minute of time added on, Trossard saw his shot heavily deflected right into the back of the Citizens' goal and the game went to penalties. The Gunners dominated the shoot-out, converting all four of their penalties while Man City missed two of their three spot kicks much to the delight of Arteta who finally got one over on his friend and former mentor.
Predicted Lineup – Ramsdale (GK), Gabriel, White, Timber, Saliba, Partey, Ødegaard, Rice, Havertz, Saka & Martinelli
Nottm Forest
Nottingham Forest have looked poor in pre-season, struggling to create chances and finish them off with five of their last six matches seeing the Midlands' club fail to score. Forest took on some tough teams in their warm-up to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign but still, their fans won't be happy with what they have seen from their side, especially ahead of one of their toughest games of the season away at Arsenal.
Predicted Lineup – Turner/Hennessey (GK), Williams, Worrall, Bolly, Aurier, Gibbs-White, Kouyate, Shelvey, Elanga, Johnson & Wood

Player to Watch: Declan Rice
Arsenal's big summer signing looked decent against Man City in the Community Shield, keeping his side ticking over from the centre of midfield.
Rice is never going to be a goalscoring midfielder or someone Arsenal can rely on for assists but that isn't why he was brought into the club. The Gunners have lacked steel in their midfield for a long time, some would argue since Gilberto Silva was dominating in the centre of the park.
Rice could prove to be the final piece of the puzzle for Arteta and Arsenal in their push for the Premier League title. Many are predicting Arsenal for big things this season and we can't think of a better player to watch this weekend than the £100m man, Declan Rice.
