Eberechi Eze could make his first start for Arsenal when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace as part of a deal worth over £60million last month, made his debut at Anfield two weeks ago.

The attacking midfielder came off the bench for the final 20 minutes, but he could not stop Arsenal falling to a 1-0 defeat.

Eze could now come into the team this weekend, though, in place of Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank.

Arsenal will definitely be without Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus for the visit of Forest due to knee injuries.

Bukayo Saka and William Saliba could both miss the game as well after picking up injuries before the international break.

Saka is struggling with a hamstring issue, while Saliba hurt his ankle in the loss to Liverpool.

Noni Madueke is likely to start in place of Saka if he is out, while Cristhian Mosquera is the favourite to come in for Saliba after impressing off the bench at Anfield.
