Since the beginning of the new season, Nottingham Forest has had a huge change. They sacked coach Nuno Santo after he helped the team win a ticket to the European Cup.
Ange Postecoglou was chosen to replace the Portuguese strategist. Postecoglou is no stranger to English football having been with Tottenham for two seasons.
Forest entered this match with unimpressive form. Despite winning 4 points this season, they have lost 5 of their last 11 Premier League games - almost equal to all the losses in the previous 24 matches (6). The 0-3 defeat to West Ham at City Ground in the most recent round added to the pressure.
Meanwhile, Arsenal just lost 0-1 to Liverpool in the previous round. However, it was a rather unlucky defeat for the "Gunners" because they played well and only lost due to a beautiful free kick from Szoboszlai.
Overall, Arsenal have played well since the start of the new season. Before losing to Liverpool, they defeated Man United and Leeds United.
Arsenal's biggest support is set pieces. They are second in the league for expected goals from dead balls (2.34), but second behind in expected goals from live football (1.54).
In fact, more than half of their xG this season (50.1%) have come from fixed - the highest rate in the Premier League. This dependence will pose a risk if Arsenal do not improve their open attack capabilities soon.
The match between Arsenal - Nottingham Forest in round 4 of the Premier League, taking place at 6:30 p.m. on September 13 (Vietnam time), live on K+Sport1.
