Arsenal geared up for their first game in this season's EFL Cup against Nottingham Forest with a competitive training session at their London Colney base.
Having dispatched of Hull City with ease on Saturday, the Gunners face a reunion with former striker Nicklas Bendtner when they travel to the City Ground on Tuesday night.
And Arsenal's players showed they were looking forward to the challenge as they enjoyed a light-hearted session at their training base.
After failing to win either of their first two Premier League games of the season, a 4-3 defeat by Liverpool and a goalless draw at Leicester, the Gunners are unbeaten in their last four.
