Why Gibbs-White's absence could be a bonus
No Gibbs-White for Forest, which is no real surprise as he hasn’t trained all week. Dominguez comes in (still no chance for Sangare or Hudson-Odoi) so I’d expect McAtee to take Gibbs-White’s place as one of the No10s alongside Ndoye. Forest will miss Gibbs-White – of course they will. There is an argument, though, that Glasner’s rigid tactical structure doesn’t suit him. McAtee isn’t as good as Gibbs-White but Glasner loves him, and in the No10 spot he’ll do everything his manager asks.
Nottingham Forest's starting XI
Nottingham Forest XI: Sels; Cunha, Diomande, Murilloe; Munoz, Schlager, Dominguez, Williams; McAtee, Ndoye; Delap
Subs: John Victor, Ibrahim Sangare, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chris Wood, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Ryan Yates, Luca Netz, Nikola Milenkovic, Ola Aina
Arsenal release their starting XI
Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes, Odegaard; Saka, Eze, Havertz
Subs: Meslier, Mosquera, Timber, Gyokeres, Madueke, Merino, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman
