Pundit Predictions for Arsenal vs Nottm Forest 2025- Merson, Sutton, Joe Cole

The Premier League resumes this weekend after the September international break, and first up is a clash between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium. The fixture assumes extra significance with the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as Forest manager during the international break- he was in charge of Spurs before taking this job at the City Ground, and won the Europa League with them last season.

Postecoglou is therefore no stranger to Arsenal and the contrasting styles between him and the outgoing NFFC manager- Nuno (who was also Spurs manager briefly), make this an interesting game. Nuno’s Forest were more likely to sit back and hit opponents on the counter, and that is not really Postecoglou’s style.

Here are some pundit predictions for this Arsenal v Nottingham Forest GW4 clash for 2025/26.
