Mikel Arteta has made five changes to his squad for today’s Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, with Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka starting in attack.

The boss has shuffled his pack in his 250th game as our manager as he looks to get us back to winning ways, with Trossard able to start despite limping off in Belgium’s defeat to Israel on Monday night.

Saka and Martin Odegaard have all been declared fit to play after recovering from their injuries during the international break, but Declan Rice is only fit enough to feature on a strong bench that includes Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey, meaning Jorginho will be in the starting line-up. midfield next to our skipper and Mikel Merino.

There is also good news in that Riccardo Calafiori is back in the starting line-up after a month’s absence with a knee injury, with Jurren Timber expected to move to right-back to replace Ben White, who will be out of action for the foreseeable future due to a knee injury. surgery.

As for Forest, Nuno Espirito Santo has made two changes to the side that were beaten 3-1 at home by Newcastle United last time out, with England’s Morgan Gibbs-White left out and top scorer Chris Wood on the bench.

That brings James Ward-Prowse into the line-up, as does Taiwo Awonyi, who has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances against us. Elliot Anderson is also out of the match selection due to a foot injury.
