The Premier League returns mercifully to the Emirates Stadium after Arsenal spent their last two matches away from their north London home. Both Leeds and Southampton were unable to claim wins against the Gunners despite a dip in the side’s performance.
Arsenal emerged with four points and were still top of the table. However, the loss to PSV in the Europa League has brought the side’s unbeaten run to a halt and shed some light on the fragility of the side.
Nottingham Forest’s arrival after beating Liverpool might look on paper like a nice game to try and respond to but Mikel Arteta has already lost to Steve Cooper’s side this year after the FA Cup 3rd round defeat in January. It is crucial that the Spaniard gets the team selection right for the league clash on Sunday.
