Ange Postecoglou has already made his thoughts clear on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal squad as he prepares to take charge of his first Nottingham Forest game at the Emirates

Arsenal host Nottingham Forest as the Premier League returns following the international break. Mikel Arteta’s side aim to keep their title ambitions thriving with a strong outing at the Emirates Stadium as they look to reduce the gap to league leaders Liverpool before Arne Slot’s champions play on Sunday.

Ange Postecoglou has admitted that he expected the axe at Tottenham Hotspur long before the club’s Europa League triumph.

Postecoglou has spoken to the media after being presented as Forest’s new manager, and as captured by Hayters, he admitted one problem from his final season at Tottenham. Postecoglou admitted that Tottenham’s pre-season preparations were poor, and his Spurs side ‘weren’t prepared’ for a busy season ahead.

Ange Postecoglou has told BBC Radio Nottingham he wants to deliver a "generational moment" as Forest boss. It would mean everything I am passionate about is realised and long after I am gone there's the smallest of footprints in this football club made by me.

Here are the predicted lineups for Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with Ange Postecoglou taking charge of the visitors for the first time.

"Some might say Ange Postecoglou is sipping from a poisoned chalice making his comeback working for such a combustible owner."

Sources say Ange Postecoglou is already making transfer plans at Nottingham Forest as Man United are watching Elliot Anderson.
