What is the form of Arsenal compared to Nottingham Forest?
Arsenal might have won their last game but their form isn’t great. The 3-0 win over Frankfurt last Thursday was followed by a 3-2 comeback victory over Aston Villa but the Gunners’ shaky defense remains a crippling issue. Nonetheless, those back-to-back victories put an end to their three-game winless run.
Nottingham, meanwhile, have suffered only one defeat in the Championship this season. Regardless, they have failed half of their opening eight games, drawing three (W4, L1). They too head into this game on the back of a two-game winning streak.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest head-to-head record
While Arsenal understandably boast the superior head-to-head record, the last time these two sides, it was the Gunners that ended up on the losing side. The north London giants were beaten 4-2 in the FA Cup last year and have lost two of their six clashes with Nottingham Forest.

Team news
With Arsenal’s trip to Man United looming, expect quite a few key players to be rested. Aubameyang, who is currently averaging a goal-per-game for the Gunners this season, will likely be given a breather. Expect the likes of Saka and Martinelli to lead the Gunners attack. Mesut Ozil might also be given a start to add experience to the lineup.
Lacazette remains on the sidelines while this game comes too early for Bellerin and Tierney, both of whom are nearing a return. Holding, however, could feature.
The away side have a few concerns. Rafa Mir remains on the sidelines while Sammy Ameobi is a doubt, meaning Lewis Grabban is likely to start.
