Arsenal continued their impressive start to the 2022/23 season with another dominant victory against Nottingham Forest at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have scored 19 Premier League goals from six games at home so far this campaign with eight different goal scorers getting in on the act.
From Arsenal's 17 competitive games they've played so far, the three games where the Gunners haven't taken maximum points have come in the defeats Manchester United and PSV, and the draw with Southampton which have all been played away from north London.
The rampant win over Steve Cooper's side was actually Arsenal's eighth consecutive home win of the season and while the players have looked fatigued at times away from home, Arsenal have looked relentless on their own patch and it could be said that Emirates Stadium is becoming a fortress.

"We can create a fortress at the Emirates," Arteta said ahead of Arsenal's match with Sheffield United in October, 2020. "It's going to be crucial for the future results at the end of the season, not just for results but as well for the performance and what we can inspire, what we can transmit at home.
"We want to play with that confidence at home where we have to be really resilient and dominate games to impose ourselves in those games."
Arteta was hopeful that the Gunners could make their home stadium a place no one wants to come to and that game against the Blades two years ago did see Arsenal pick up a victory and start a two-game streak of home wins.
However, they went on to lose their next four Premier League games at home which included humbling defeats to Aston Villa and Burnley, but there seems to be no sign of any complacency showing from Arsenal this time round, particularly in north London.
The victory over Forest was Arsenal's final Premier League home fixture before the World Cup as they face tough trips to Stamford Bridge and Molineux to face Chelsea and Wolves respectively in the coming weeks.
The Gunners can make it to ten straight wins at home before the World Cup though as they welcome Zurich in the Europa League this Thursday and the following week Brighton are in town for an EFL Cup third round clash.
