The English Premier League returns to the screens of US viewers early on Saturday morning, when Arsenal and Nottingham Forest clash in what will be the first of eight games. Now under the management of Ange Postecoglou, who last season won the UEFA Europa League with Arsenal's local rival Tottenham, the visitors will be hoping to bounce back after what was a disappointing defeat on home soil last time out. It's been a mixed start to the season for the Tricky Trees, who now find themselves starting all over again with a new boss.
For the hosts, the season started well, with the Gunners beating Man United away from home, before trouncing Leeds in their first home game. Unfortunately, their winning run ended at Anfield last time out thanks to a peach of dead-ball strike from Dominik Szoboszlai. Will Mikel Arteta's men regain the winning thread at the first time of asking?

Our Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
With Ange Postecoglou at the helm, Morgan Gibbs-White is likely to be fully unshackled and given lots of offensive freedom, so don't be too surprised if Forest's forward-thinking creator-in-chief hits the ground running under the Aussie. Gibbs-White has made a promising campaign to the season from a shooting point of view, taking more than shots than all but one Forest player. He regularly hit the target in big games last season and that's exactly what I'm betting on him to do here. Our Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Pick: Morgan Gibbs-White 1+ Shots on Target.
