## Key points

- Forest need more goals after a slow start.
- Man City could win their first eight league games.
- Arsenal may give teenager Max Dowman a chance.

## Summary

This weekend’s Premier League fixtures bring pressure and opportunity for several clubs: Nottingham Forest need to improve their scoring, Manchester City can extend a remarkable start, and Arsenal may turn to 16-year-old Max Dowman amid Bukayo Saka’s injury. Tottenham also face Chelsea with a poor recent record between the sides, while other matches could shape the early relegation picture.

Forest have five points and five goals after seven games, while Ipswich have had eight different scorers. City could become only the third team to win their first eight league matches; Aston Villa beat them twice last season. Dowman has played just nine league minutes this season, and Coventry and Fulham, separated by the relegation line, meet after uneven starts.
