We have to be much better than we were [against PSV]... It wasn't good enough." Arteta is set to have plenty of players at his disposal on Sunday afternoon, with only four stars on the injury list.

Both players are expected to face late fitness tests. Oleksandr Zinchenko remains an injury concern for Arsenal ( Getty Images) Who do you think Mikel Arteta will play against Nottingham Forest?
