Arsenal are first up off the back of the September international break, as they face a Nottingham Forest side that are suddenly a completely different proposition.
After Evangelos Marinakis opted to rid the club of tension and part ways with successful manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the Forest owner replaced the Portuguese with his ideological opposite.
In comes former Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou, three months removed from his Spurs sacking. Arteta never lost to the Australian during their north London tussles, and the Spaniard requires a return to winning ways after their slender defeat at Anfield two weeks ago.
Arsenal were the biggest net spenders of the summer window, and a variety of fresh faces are set to be included in Arteta’s starting XI against Forest on Saturday.
