Arsenal will look to make it three wins in the space of eight days as they travel to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest on Super Sunday.
After heading into the prolonged international break off the back of a 3-0 defeat away at Brighton, it looked like Arsenal were going to drop more points at the weekend as they trailed Leeds United 0-1 10 minutes into the second half.
However, goals from Ricardo Calafiori and new signing Bruno Guimaraes turned the game around and gave Mikel Arteta’s men all three points.
The Gunners were also victorious in midweek, as three goals in the space of seven second-half minutes secured a 3-0 success in the league phase of the Champions League against Lille – on an evening I landed a 10/11 winner.
Nottingham Forest come into this clash off the back of consecutive defeats, as they lost 3-1 away at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Dan Ndoye had given Forest an early lead, but two goals just before half-time and a third on the hour mark ensured Oliver Glasner made a losing return to Selhurst Park.
That result means the Tricky Trees remain on five points in 15th position in the Premier League table, just two points outside of the relegation zone.
How the bookies view it: Arsenal favourites
Arsenal are favourites to make it six wins from seven in the Premier League on Sunday, with bet365 pricing an away success at 3/5.
Forest are 5/1 underdogs to claim just a second Premier League win of the season, whilst the draw is 29/10.
Head to head: Tricky venue for the Gunners
Arsenal are unbeaten in each of their previous six Premier League meetings with Nottingham Forest (W4-D2-L0), keeping clean sheets in each of their last four.
However, the Gunners have been held to a goalless draw on each of their previous two visits to the City Ground.
Players to watch: Saka to strike again?
Bukayo Saka made an immediate impact off the bench against Lille in midweek, as he created an assist after just two minutes of coming on, before scoring four minutes later.
The England international has also scored in three of his six appearances in the Premier League this season, and is priced at 20/21 at bet365 to Score or Assist.

Anything else catch the eye?
As alluded to, Arsenal have been held to goalless draws on their last two visits to the City Ground, but you would fancy them to claim all three points this weekend.
The Gunners have won five of their six Premier League encounters this season and face a Forest side that is yet to win or even score a goal at home in the Premier League this season.
All five of Arsenal’s Premier League victories this season have featured fewer than five goals and a repeat pays an appealing 5/6, whilst an Arsenal Win to Nil pays a juicier 13/8.
