Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Preview - 12/08/2023 - Premier League
Premier League have announced the fixtures of the upcoming 2023/24 season. Arsenal are scheduled to open the campaign in a home match against Nottingham Forest on August 12, 2023
The Gunners had an impressive season in the 2022/23 season, standing on top of the table for almost 250 days. However, Manchester City caught up by playing their remaining clashes and ultimately clinched the crown with three games to spare.
On the other hand, by claiming a second-place finish, Mikel Arteta led his side to a long-awaited Champions League qualification for the first time in seven years.
Despite this setback, the club fans are already looking forward to the upcoming campaign with great anticipation, especially due to the upcoming summer transfer window.
As per the released fixtures, the North London outfit will begin the domestic league at Emirate Stadium against Forest, a team they defeated 5-0 last year, but lost them in a narrow 1 - 0 score away on May 20.
