To make Arsenal harder to defend against, Arteta hopes they can score in different ways.

Another key match in the 7th round of the 2026/27 Premier League season will take place, with Arsenal traveling to Nottingham Forest. Arteta stated that his team must use different methods to score, making them more difficult for opponents to defend against.

In the last round of the Premier League, Arsenal came from behind to defeat Leeds United 2-1 after goals from Calafiori and Guimarães. In addition, in the earlier Champions League match, Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Lille from Ligue 1, thanks to goals from Timber, Eze, and Saka.

Arsenal are currently second on the leaderboard with 15 points, six points behind first-placed Manchester City.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "We responded very well in our last two games, both in terms of performance and results. Now, we are only focused on the game against Nottingham Forest, and I know it will be a very tough match. We will try our best to score while also preventing them from scoring. As I said, it will be a very difficult game."

“Nottingham Forest is a team with extremely high tactical awareness and a very mature coaching system. We have experience playing against Glasgow before, and we know that this team can create a very special atmosphere at home. So, we are ready.”

In head-to-head records, Arsenal have a psychological advantage, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last 5 matches against Nottingham Forest.

It's worth mentioning that Arsenal scored many goals from set pieces last season, which even became one of the factors that helped the Gunners win.

Arteta said, "We have received a lot of criticism for scoring from set pieces. I don't know what level we are at right now, but the team showed excellent fluidity in attack and scored some very exciting goals."

"The value of a goal is exactly the same, so I think we have to become a team that can score in multiple ways. That way, it will be harder for opponents to deal with us."
