Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday
The Arsenal vs Nottm Forest live stream is set to be a highlight of the opening weekend of the 2023/24 Premier League season. Arsenal will be looking to get their title bid off to a winning start
Arsenal pushed Man City close in the Premier League title race last season, but they ultimately finished five points adrift of top spot. The Gunners fell away towards the end of the campaign, but Mikel Arteta was keen to take the positives given no one really expected his team to finish in the top two.
Can Arsenal go one better this time around? They have strengthened their roster with the additions of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber, with Granit Xhaka the only significant sale. The experience of last season should also serve them well when we reach the business end this time around.
Nottm Forest secured survival with a 1-0 victory over Arsenal in May. After their chaotic recruitment 12 months ago, this has been a calmer summer at the City Ground. The squad is still bloated, though, and Steve Cooper will no doubt want to add one or two more players before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Forest had the worst away record in the Premier League last season. They scored only 11 goals and collected just eight points on the road, so this looks set to be a reasonably straightforward 90 minutes for Arsenal.
Nothing can be taken for granted in the Premier League 23/24, though, and Arteta will not allow complacency to seep in. It is important that the Gunners make a statement of intent on matchday one, particularly if Man City beat Burnley on Friday.
The Arsenal vs Nottm Forest Forest live stream promises to be a fascinating match as both clubs begin the new season, so you won’t want to miss this one

The Gunners saw their chances in the 2022/23 title race ended by a 1-0 defeat away at Forest back in May as Steve Cooper's side confirmed their own top-flight survival at the City Ground.
Mikel Arteta has been busy during the summer, with major transfer moves to bring in Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz, as the former midfielder looks to chase Manchester City again.
Arteta could look to start all three of his new summer signings in this game, with Rice, Timber and Havertz all featuring from the off in the penalty shootout win over Man City in the Community Shield.
Brazil international Gabriel Jesus misses out, after undergoing minor knee surgery, with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Folarin Balogun and Reiss Nelson still sidelined.
Arteta knows his team cannot afford Man City to build up a lead in the title race and his charges will be well drilled to secure a win on home soil on the opening weekend.
Cooper is still bringing his squad together, based on new signings this summer, and key injuries in defence could be an issue for the visitors against a driven Arsenal side.
The Gunners sat top of the table for a staggering 248 days but were still convincingly beaten to the title by Manchester City come the close of play.
Mikel Arteta has reacted with another £200million-plus summer spend and the Gunners boast their strongest squad in two decades. Forest have reigned in their own spending, but could hand a debut to Matt Turner, fresh from a £10m move from the Gunners.
