Mikel Arteta is not a happy man. He's pacing about, pointing, shouting. He'll be tugging at that thick mane of hair of his.

Sheffield UnitedSheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom speaking on BBC Final Score: "I am delighted that we are kicking off today and it shifts the focus. We want people to focus on us and how we perform rather than what's gone on over the summer. We are looking forward to it.
"We have lost some big players who are big parts of what we did. Whether that is part of the culture we create or part of the XI. We are hoping to keep getting strong and picking up points."

Ryan Yates goes down after a challenge from Leandro Trossard near the Arsenal box. There's no resulting free-kick, though. Steve Cooper goes mad on the touchline.
Soon after, Arsenal are down the other end for Bukayo Saka to flick a shot at Matt Turner.
This is wide open now.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou're gambling with players who don't really know the league, may or may not have the quality.
It's not what you need at the start of the season, you need some experienced heads, younger heads that have also been there and done it.
Relying on the academy kids at the start of the season, as good as they may be, is not where Paul Heckingbottom wants to be.

Nathan: People going on about Arsenal getting a star striker. That isn't the problem. Conceding these kinds of goals and chances when ahead is the problem.

The Armchair Football Fan: Now that is how you counter attack. Fantastic stuff from Forest. Too good and too quick for Arsenal.
The moment Awoniyi came on Arteta should have brought on Gabriel. Now he's finally making the sub but possibly too late.

Now then!
What a ruthless break this is from Forest. The visitors clear an Arsenal corner and Anthony Elanga is lightning to tear away down the left. He gets into the box and crosses low for Taiwo Awoniyi to tap homne.
Two subs combine and suddenly we have a game on again.

Brighton v Luton Town (15:00 BST)
Luton TownLuton Town manager Rob Edwards speaking on BBC Final Score: "We are really looking forward to it. It is right up there in terms of how difficult a game we could have. We have to be intelligent. We still want to be aggressive but we have to be wary of giving too much space. When we have the ball, we have to try and hurt them as well.
"It is down to us. We have belief in our own ability and what we can do this season."
