Team news for the EFL Cup clash.
Nottingham Forest fans
Nottingham Forest host Arsenal in the EFL Cup this evening, looking to record a memorable victory.
The Gunners have selected a rotated side as they regularly do in the competition, but their team is still packed with talented players.
Here is a look at how the two teams line up for the fixture:
Confirmed Nottingham Forest line-up: Stojkovic, Pereira, Mancienne, Mills, Lichaj, Dumitru-Cardoso, Cohen (c), Lansbury, Kasami, Osborn, Bendtner
Substitutes: Smith, Fox, Carayol, Lica, Hobbs, Grant, Vellios
Confirmed Arsenal line-up: Martinez, Niles, Holding, Gabriel, Gibbs, Xhaka, Elneny, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adelaide, Akpom, Perez
Substitutes: Macey, Bielik, Sheaf, Mavididi, Willock, Zelalem, Da Silva
The match is notable also for the presence of Nicklas Bendtner, who signed for Nottingham Forest as a free agent earlier this month.
Bendtner spent several years at Arsenal, leaving in 2014, and had recently become a free agent after being released by German side Wolfsburg in the summer.
Arsenal lost last season in the cup away to Sheffield Wednesday and Arsene Wenger will be hoping to avoid a repeat of that performance.
