Four defeats, two wins, and a draw in pre-season friendlies for Forest. Didn't impress in the pre-season friendlies. No win and no goal scored in the last four. Drew 0-0 with the stronger side Eintracht Frankfurt in the last one. Starting goalkeepers Navas and Henderson both left the club. Horvath or Shelvey could start against Arsenal if Forest don't sign any replacement in time. Awoniyi, Felipe, Hennessey and Niakhate are out injured. All in all, a lot of problems for the guests before visiting London. As for the hosts, Arsenal started the season already last weekend, with the Community Shield against reigning league champions Man City. There they played a very good first half without breaking the bank, while they struggled more after the break and looked set to lose 0-1. 10 minutes into overtime they equalized, and then they won the penalty shootout. The Gunners finished 2nd last season, having led the league for a long time. The decisive reason why they fell apart a bit at the end was the injury to Saliba, Arsenal was many notches worse without him in central defense, but I think City would still win in the end. Regardless, it was a very good season them and they are now back in the Champions League. Elneny and Gabriel Jesus are sidelined. Jorginho, Zinchenko, Balogun, and Nelson should be available. Arsenal is a big favorite to win, the odds are already on the decline, and that should not be surprising considering that Arteta's team is very confident. Forest's defense did not look good in the past games, and last season almost all the points were won by the home team. Arsenal has a lot of firepower so I think everything expect an easy win would be a big surprise. First-choice Forest defenders Niakhate and Felipe are out injured. This is a big blow for the already shaken defence. Therefore, the bet falls on Arsenal to win with -1.5 AH.

森林队在季前赛中4负2胜1平。在季前赛的友谊赛中表现不佳。四强赛没有获胜，也没有进球。在上一场比赛中，与实力较强的法兰克福队0-0战平。首发门将纳瓦斯和亨德森都离开了俱乐部。霍瓦特或谢尔维可以在对阵阿森纳的比赛中首发，如果森林不能及时签下替代者的话。阿沃尼伊、菲利普、亨尼西和尼亚克哈特都因伤缺阵。总之，在访问伦敦之前，客人们有很多问题要解决。至于东道主，阿森纳上周末已经开始了新赛季，社区盾对阵卫冕冠军曼城。在那里，他们上半场踢得很好，没有破门，而中场休息后他们更加挣扎，看起来要以0比1输掉比赛。加时赛进行到10分钟时，他们扳平了比分，然后又赢得了点球大战。枪手上赛季排名第二，他们在联赛中领跑了很长一段时间。他们最后崩溃的决定性原因是萨里巴的受伤，阿森纳在中卫没有他的情况下表现更差，但我认为曼城最终还是会赢。不管怎样，这是一个非常出色的赛季，他们现在又回到了欧冠赛场。埃尔尼和加布里埃尔·耶稣被边缘化了。若日尼奥、津琴科、巴洛贡和尼尔森应该可以上场。阿森纳是获胜的大热门，赔率已经在下降，考虑到阿尔特塔的球队非常有信心，这并不奇怪。森林的防守在过去的比赛中看起来并不好，上赛季几乎所有的分数都是由主队赢得的。阿森纳有强大的火力，所以我认为一场轻松的胜利将是一个巨大的惊喜。森林队的主力后卫尼亚克哈特和费利佩因伤缺阵。这对已经动摇的防线来说是一个巨大的打击。因此，赌注落在阿森纳以-1.5 AH获胜。
