For the first time in 27 days, we finally return to Emirates Stadium action on Saturday (3pm) when we take on this season’s surprise package Nottingham Forest.
As we look to rediscover our early-season form, we can lean on the fact that we have lost only two of our 14 Premier League games against Forest, and have never on home turf. In fact, we’ve won the last four home league games 11-2 on aggregate.
But Nuno Espirito Santo’s 2024/25 side are a different force. They’ve been hugely impressive, heading into the weekend in fifth spot, level on points with ourselves, having remained unbeaten in their six away games so far and eyeing a first win in N5 since 1989.
