Arsenal will be looking to kickstart their Premier League campaign with a win when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners will be hoping to build another title challenge, after suffering heartbreak last season when a late-season slip-up allowed Manchester City to retain their crown. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, will be wanting to start on a positive note after avoiding relegation last season.
Mikel Arteta has overseen an overhaul of his squad this summer, including Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, while Forest have been slower with their business compared to last summer. Here's everything you need to know...
When is Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest?
Nottingham Forest’s trip to the Emirates will kick off at 12:30 on Saturday.
Arsenal will still have memories of the last time they played Steve Cooper’s side back in May; a game that crowned Manchester City champions after losing 1-0 to Forest.

On the flip side, that result secured Forest’s survival in the Premier League, although a trip to the Emirates will be tricky for the visitors.
How to watch?
This will be the first of the six games being played on Saturday and will be shown on TNT Sports, which is the new name for BT Sport. Coverage starts from 11:00am.
