Arsenal will take on Nottingham Forest today (Sunday) with the hope of bouncing back from their recent slump.
The last few weeks have been difficult for Arteta. After escaping with a narrow win at Leeds United, Arsenal fumbled at Southampton and dropped two points.
Arteta would want to go into the World Cup break on a high and would need to win the three games left in the schedule.
Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers may seem beatable, but the Chelsea trip might prove tricky.
For now, Arsenal’s focus would be to revitalise the team and get back on track with the Premier League title race, with a win deemed necessary.
Nottingham Forest come to the Emirates high on confidence after a morale-boosting win over Liverpool last Saturday.
As Steve Cooper’s side held on, Taiwo Awoniyi’s solitary second-half strike was enough.
Cooper has maintained a defensive resilience with his team, with Nottingham Forest conceding only two goals in their last four games.
However, they have picked up just two wins on the road this season and failed to score in each of their last four away matches.
