Arsenal kick off their favorite competition against Nottingham Forest. Here are all the match facts, TV info and live streaming options to watch the showdown.
Arsenal supporters may lack a bit of confidence when it comes to the Premier League or the Champions League, but when the FA Cup comes around, things change. Knowing how well the Gunners do in the Cup always brings about confidence in players and fans alike. This is their competition.
And it’s kicking off for them, as always, in the 3rd round. Nottingham Forest will welcome the Gunners to the City Ground for the clash.
Forest will be hoping to find success in a fresh competition, as their fortunes in the EFL Championship has them sitting in a lackluster 14th place. It’s their defense that has been the problem, as they’re giving up the most goals of any team not in the bottom five.

The Gunners will be hoping to compile on Forest’s defensive woes by driving in a few goals of their own, despite the mass of players that won’t be available. Seven players, all regular starters this year, save Olivier Giroud (who would normally start this match) and Santi Cazorla (who would normally start every match) will be out of service.

This opens the door for a slew of rotational options that probably would have been called on anyway. Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott will headline, with the latter in a particularly interesting setting, as he has been tied to a potential exit.
Reiss Nelson should also be making his return to the fold, albeit in a wingback role and not in his preferred attacking role.
All things considered, this is still a match that the Gunners will expect to win conclusively. Here are all the ways that you can watch, as well as all you need to know about the match itself:
