Arsenal hosts struggling Aston Villa looking to keep their 100% record in the Premier League in tact and staying at the top of the league table.
Mikel Arteta’s men have won all their four league games so far and that makes them the only club that has not dropped points.
Considering their struggles in recent seasons, this is an impressive result for them and their fans are now dreaming of at least a top four finish.
While Arsenal is thriving, Aston Villa has made a terrible start to this campaign and the Villans could sack their manager, Steven Gerrard if his team loses another game.
The Liverpool legend’s team has lost three and won one of their opening four league games so far and the ex-midfielder is feeling the pressure after their summer recruitment drive.
Arsenal will be confident about getting a win in this game, but they will not want to underestimate the Villans, because it could be too dangerous for them.
Big-spending Nottingham Forest visits Manchester City in this game after losing 2-0 to Tottenham the last time out.
Forest lost that game, but they had so many chances and dominated with touches inside the opposition box, but they had nothing to show for their industry.
This game will probably be tougher, but they might be luckier if they attack city the way they did against Tottenham.
The Citizens came from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace at the weekend. They have now formed a poor habit of coming from behind to win matches, but they might not recover in a particular game if they continue.
Erling Haaland has taken to the Premier League like fish to water and the Norwegian has six goals in the competition already and he is now the early contender to win the Golden Boot.
He should easily get a goal from this fixture, but Forest are a formidable side and they will make it hard for City to score too many goals.

The former midfielder helped them to gain promotion back to the English top flight from the Championship.
Their return to the competition has not gone to plan so far, with Liverpool inflicting a 9-0 defeat on them at the weekend.
They had previously lost 4-0 to Manchester City and 3-0 to Arsenal in league matches since their return. Considering the calibre of clubs they have faced so far, they shouldn’t have expected much, but the club’s executives believe they could have had a better start.
Matchplug understands that they have now relieved Parker of his duty as their manager and a search for a successor begins.
The Cherries would face Wolves in their next league game tomorrow at home and their fans would be keen to see how the team responds to Parker’s dismissal.
The Arizona Diamondbacks realized that they could potentially have a great one on their hands with Corbin Carroll. Carroll just made his Major League debut on Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. He instantly made an impact. Just so you get a feeling for how exciting his debut was for the organization, the entire coaching staff of both the Double-A Amarillo and the Triple-A Reno came to support him.
Carroll not only started in right field for them but he also bat eighth in the lineup. The Diamondbacks quickly fell behind early on. Falling down 7-0 early on. Carroll then got a run going as his blazing speed forced an error. This error eventually led onto a six-run inning to bring the score back down to 7-6. Unfortunately, it got recorded as an error and he wasn’t awarded his first hit in the big leagues, though he later got his chance. He smacked away a deep liner into left field to pick up that first run in the very next inning. Not only was that a huge moment, but a handful of runs went the distance off of this hit to give them the 9-7 lead.
The former 16th overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft was calm, cool and collected the entire time with tons of eyes on him in his debut. It’s not easy to deliver the biggest run in a game for your team. Especially when your group is down 7-0, against a tough pitcher. On top of that, the hit sparks the largest comeback in franchise history. Oh, and that’s not all either. This was the first time all year that an MLB team was able to score six runs in back-to-back innings. Both of which were heavily impacted by Carroll’s hits in them.
Carroll Made The Most Out Of Diamondbacks Opportunity
It turned out to be quite the decision to call him up to the majors. They didn’t’ even have to call him up either, due to them already have a handful of outfielders that have been doing well this season for Arizona. The organization just felt confidently about his improvement, and it paid off. Plus, they aren’t a team that’s going to be competing for a World Series this year, so it’s good to get some guy’s much needed experience. Their manager said, “We felt strongly that we wanted him to come up and sort of rip this band-aid off this year, for obvious reasons, both this year and going into the next.”
Carroll then got surrounded by all of his family and friends when he entered the hallway just outside of the Diamondbacks clubhouse after the game ended and his interviews wrapped up. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is going to be a game that Carroll remembers forever. It could be the first emergence of a future franchise superstar. It will also be a legendary moment in Arizona history as they rallied back from seven runs down by scoring six in back-to-back innings. Arizona fans had a lot to be excited about.
