Arsenal face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday as they look to continue their winning run.

Arsenal travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday as they look to continue their strong form this season. The Gunners have won nine of their last ten matches and triumphed against Lille in the Champions League in midweek, with goals from Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka securing a three-point win.

Mikel Merino has declared that Arsenal can achieve the quadruple this season, saying it is 'an unbelievable run' and that the team is 'making history in the competition'. The Spanish midfielder acknowledged the difficulty of such an achievement, noting that no other English side has managed it in history.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is expected to field a strong team at the City Ground. Bukayo Saka is set to return to the starting lineup after missing the midweek match with a minor illness. Kai Havertz and captain Martin Odegaard are also expected to start. Riccardo Calafiori is likely to feature after being rested against Lille. The Gunners have a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich next Wednesday but Arteta is not expected to field a weakened side for the Forest match.
