Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest preview: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match on DAZN in Canada

The Premier League is back, and the first match of the weekend is Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners look to bounce back from their loss in Matchweek 3 to Liverpool, which ended Arsenal's perfect start to the season. They've had two weeks to stew on that result over the international break, and with the team's return home, a victory is likely seen as a must.

Meanwhile, Forest will enter this match in a bit of turmoil as they parted ways with manager Nuno Espirito Santo on Monday and brought in former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou as his replacement. Postecoglou takes over a side that has underachieved in the opening stages of the season, culminating in a three-goal home loss to previously point-less West Ham United on August 31.

That was apparently the last straw for Espirito Santo's time in charge, and Postecoglou is now tasked with righting the ship quickly.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest: What the managers are saying

"With Ange, his biggest strength, in my opinion, is the way he's been. He has put his fingerprints on that team, and he has a very clear way of playing, very clear DNA and are extremely good to watch. I've learned a lot from him, and it will be a very difficult game."

“They’ve probably been the most consistent club. They haven’t finished as champions, but they’ve certainly been the most consistent over recent years.

“They’ve strengthened in the off-season and this is probably as strong as they’ve ever been from a playing perspective.

“They’ve got a manager in Mikel (Arteta) who’s been there a while now, so everything is embedded in place for them to have success.

“It’s a great challenge but with everything I’ve said so far, if I flinch and say this is a bridge too far then it means nothing.

“We’ve got to go there without fear, take them on at their place and challenge the very best, because that’s where we want to be one day.”

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest prediction

The new manager bounce isn't likely to be enough to help Forest here as they've lost their last six away matches at Arsenal by a combined score of 19-2, and there's little to suggest any impending change in that trend.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest
