  Riccardo Calafiori offers strong value in the shots market this weekend, with BetVictor quoting 4/5 for him to record a single effort on goal. Since arriving at Arsenal, the Italian defender has consistently advanced into attacking areas, and the underlying data supports his chances of producing again.

  He has managed at least one shot in every outing this season for both club and country. In his three Premier League appearances so far, Calafiori has attempted eight efforts, including three during the 5-0 win over Leeds. His numbers are meaningful too, with 1.4 xG generated from those attempts. Even in the narrow 1-0 loss to Liverpool he found space for three shots, showing his tendency to step forward regardless of opponent.

  Predicted line-ups

  Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya, Timber, Mosquera, Gabriel, Calafiori, Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice, Madueke, Gyokeres, Eze.

  Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1) : Sels, Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, Sangare, Anderson, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.
