Eberechi Eze will make his first start for Arsenal this afternoon as Nottingham Forest come to town, but William Saliba is not in the squad.

Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace as part of a deal worth over £60million last month, made his Gunners debut at Anfield two weeks ago.

The attacking midfielder came off the bench for the final 20 minutes on Merseyside, but could not stop Arsenal falling to a 1-0 defeat.

Eze now starts this afternoon, in place of Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank.

Arsenal will definitely be without Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Mikel Arteta revealed on Friday that Saliba was already training after the ankle injury that forced him off early at Anfield, with a late call to be made on his involvement. He has not made it so Cristhian Mosquera comes in after impressing off the bench at Anfield.

Ben White has missed the last two games due to injury, but is back in the squad and on the bench with Declan Rice and deadline-day signing Piero Hincapie.
