Arsenal are now approaching the end of what has been a hectic October. The Gunners have navigated the month well, winning every game they've played in it so far, but it's been tough on the legs of the Arsenal players.
The Gunners' game against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, October 30, will be their ninth match of October - a game every 3.3 days on average. Even by the standards of modern-day football - where there are more and more games than ever - nine matches in 30 days is pretty unprecedented stuff.
Arsenal were scheduled to play Manchester City this week, but the game was postponed due to the Gunners' Europa League commitments. Instead, Arsenal played PSV Eindhoven in a game which had to be rescheduled after it was cancelled last month.
