As Arsenal search for an all-important win over Nottingham Forest that would see them immediately reclaim top spot, manager, Mikel Arteta has expressed a concern over the lack of goals from his strikers in recent weeks.
After an electric start to the season in which they won nine of their opening ten Premier League fixtures, the Gunners have hit a slight bump in the road, riding their luck against Leeds United before being held at St Mary's in a 1-1 draw against Southampton, and most recently suffering an unscripted 2-0 defeat in the Europa League at the hands of a vibrant PSV Eindhoven side.
Arsenal are by no means enduring a crisis, but any troubles would be significantly eased by strike duo Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah re-finding their scoring form. Jesus, who signed for the North Londoners in the summer from Manchester City for a reported £45million started life at the Emirates better than even he could have hoped, lighting up their pre-season tour before netting against Leicester, Aston Villa, Brentford and Spurs, but since then goals have dried up.
