Arsenal Vs Nottingham Forest
Arsenal host Nottingham Forest as the post-Nuno Espírito Santo era begins under new coach Ange Postecoglou. The Gunners’ perfect start ended with a 1-0 loss to Liverpool, and injuries remain a major concern despite strong recent home form. Forest parted ways with Nuno after just three games due to internal disputes, leaving the team mid-table (W1, D1, L1). Postecoglou faces a tough debut, with Forest having lost five of their last 11 league matches. History favors Arsenal, who have won their last six home meetings with Forest by a 19-2 aggregate. The match promises to be fast-paced, with Arsenal seeking balance amid injuries and Forest hoping to capitalize on their new momentum.
Best Bet: Over 3.5 goals in the match

Barcelona Vs Valencia
Barcelona’s first home game of the season against Valencia will be played at the smaller Estadi Johan Cruyff, with access limited to club members, after permits for the revamped Camp Nou were delayed. Barça trail Real Madrid by two points after drawing 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano but remain strong at home (W9, D1, L1). Valencia arrive boosted by a 3-0 win over Getafe and resilient away form under Carlos Corberán. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last ten league meetings with Valencia (W8, D2), including a 7-1 thrashing last season and head into this match as strong favourites.
