Hello and welcome to live coverage of Nottingham Forest v Arsenal.

Iwobi takes a shot from the edge of the box but it's straight at a wall of defenders.

Walcott is sipped in between the defence and scuffs a shot wildly wide.

Forest again find Brereton in the box, and he drills an early shot across goal that Opsina dives left to save.

Brereton is released behind the defence, scoops the shot past Ospina, but he is flagged offside.

The corner is headed away but Arsenal retain possession in defence.

Walcott has a cross aimed towards Welbeck cut out for a corner.

The match gets underway.

The match will begin in five minutes, and they appear ready for a party.

You can also take a look at the latest Arsenal transfer rumours, featuring Fred and Jonny Evans.

You can read my blog from last night about the Coutinho transfer.

Arsena have unsurprisingly picked a second string team for their favourite tournament. Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck are the senior players in attack, with Mo Elneny, Rob Holding and Per Mertesacker the other first teamers.

Nottingham Forest have their new manager... wait, no they don't. Caretaker Gary Brazil is in charge today, with Aitor Karanka a possible replacement.
