Arsenal and Nottingham Forest meet at the Emirates Stadium as Ange Postecoglou takes charge of the Reds for the first time.
The former Spurs manager has replaced Nuno, who was sacked after falling out with both owner Evangelos Marinakis and former Gunners' chief Edu at the City Ground. He takes over a side who have four points from their first three games, but suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to West Ham prior to the international break.
Arsenal also lost last time out, falling 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield, raising more questions about Mikel Arteta's tactics and suitability to win the Premier League. A win here is needed to keep the doubters at bay.
