In this 1st week match, on Saturday Aug 12th, Arsenal hosts Nottingham Forest in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 21 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Arsenal has not played yet this season, and neither has Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal starts the year after ending last season in 2nd place, while after earning 38 points last season and finishing 16th, Nottingham Forest is ready to start the new season.
Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Reiss Nelson and Folarin Balogun are unavailable to play for Arsenal, while Steve Cooper’s squad will be without Felipe, Omar Richards and Wayne Hennessey.
