Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has disclosed that the Gunners face a difficult test against Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Arteta’s men, who finished second in the English top-flight in the past three seasons, have a six-point lead at the top of the standings and have not lost any of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
Arsenal drew with champions Liverpool in their previous league game, and Arteta was wary of Forest, who are 17th in the standings.

“Winning away from home in the Premier League is extremely tough. They are a team that have done a lot of things right over the last few years to build a really good team,” Arteta told the club’s website.
“They have shown they are different, very efficient in what they do and very clear identity and that’s what makes them so dangerous.”
On whether Gyokeres has struggled with the scrutiny of leading Arsenal’s line, the manager stated: “It’s part of the expectations, but it’s not only for Viktor.
“It’s for every number nine in the league or in every top club or in every position that you play. We expect to be really good, really consistent, and to win constantly, and that’s what we have to try to do.”
