Nottingham Forest is currently 9th in the English Championship. Manager Steve Cooper’s side, affectionately known as “The Tricky Trees,” will be a stern test for the Gunners as the club head into the third competition of the year, the FA Cup.
Third round ties are usually a time to rotate the squad and give some of the best youth players a chance to shine, however, it is my opinion this match should not be taken lightly. I suggest resting some of your top players, while playing mostly the reserves wherever possible.
Mikel Arteta also has the transfer window complicating things, as Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Folarin Balogun are apparently heading out on loan this week.
Yes, we have 5 matches in the next 17 days, however, Arteta needs to be very smart when picking his starting XI. I believe the FA allows five substitutes in this competition, so that could allow some youth to play later in the match if the scoreline permits.
With that said, here’s my suggested starting XI v the Tricky Trees….
[4-4-1-1]
Nketiah (if healthy, Lacazette if not)
Odegaard
Smith Rowe, Xhaka, Lokonga, Saka
Tavares, Holding, Mari, Cedric
Leno
Predicted final soccer: Nottingham Forest 1, ARSENAL 3
COYG!

Gabriel Jesus has been assessed and it has been confirmed the striker has a left knee ACL injury that will require surgery. 
David Ornstein is reporting Arsenal will be unlikely to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
According to World of Arsenal, the Gunners are expected to sign Real Sociedad Martin Zubimendi at the end of this season for around $61.2-million (USD).
Could be about ight. Pity the Liverpool match did not go ahead.
I cannot see Mari playing as it will cost the club £1m.
Leno
Chambers Holding(c) Kolasinac
Cedric Patino Sambi Tavares
Hutchinson Nketiah Smith-Rowe
A well predicted line up
I think Patino should be given a chance and rest Odegaad
Pepe can’t get a start? He should be on to give Saka a rest.
Why does Arteta hate him? He’s always up for it.
Once again Arteta mixed the winning formula 4 4 2 to 4 2 3 1
And once again we got beat up. Players were confused which was not helped by artetas constant pitch side shouting. The players couldn’t settle, and now he has pissed of Tavares who is probably on a phone to his agent to find a new club
