'Winning trophies isn't enough sometimes' - Arteta

Arsenal host Nottingham Forest as the Premier League returns following the conclusion of the international break.

Mikel Arteta’s side aim to keep their title ambitions thriving with a strong outing at the Emirates Stadium as they look to reduce the gap to league leaders Liverpool before Arne Slot’s champions play on Sunday.

Arsenal face a Forest side that will bring an unpredictable quality to the game after the club dismissed former manager Nuno Espirito Santo and replaced him with Ange Postecoglou during the break.

Postecoglou returns to the top flight just four months after being sacked by Tottenham despite ending the north London club’s 17-year wait for a trophy by winning the Europa League last season.

The 60-year-old has spoken about bringing his attacking philosophy to Forest but also his desire to restore them to “their rightful place” in the football hierarchy.

Arsenal's unbeaten home run against Forest

Arsenal have won their last six home games against Nottingham Forest in all competitions by an aggregate score of 19-2.

The Gunners are unbeaten in 14 games on home soil against Forest (W10 D4) since a 3-1 defeat back in March 1989.

Last season, Mikel Arteta’s side were comfortable 3-0 winners at the Emirates, with Ethan Nwaneri scoring his first Arsenal goal.
