Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues on Wednesday night as high-flying Nottingham Forest welcome title-chasing Arsenal to the City Ground. Are the Gunners out of the title race? Find out our predictions and preview below.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest, since experiencing their biggest-ever Premier League victory with a 7-0 thrashing over Brighton, have since struggled with form, losing their last two Premier League matches with six goals conceded during this disappointing run. The Tricky Trees have now suffered three defeats from their last four league games. Last weekend, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side suffered a 4-3 defeat against Newcastle United at St James Park, with the result being a concern for Forest in clinging to the top-four spot this season. Currently, they sit third in the Premier League table with 47 points from 26 games, three points above defending champions Manchester City. Their last five matches in the league had seen over 2.5 goals.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has been a strong side to reckon with at City Ground, having remained undefeated in the last six home matches, winning five and playing a draw. They have scored in 11 of their 12 home matches.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal’s race for the Premier League title crown is beginning to fall off the radar as the Gunners failed to capitalize on Liverpool’s recent slip. Last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s side ended their impressive 15-match unbeaten league run as they lost 1-0 to West Ham at Emirates Stadium, with the result having a huge and significant impact on the Gunners’ hopes for the title. They miss players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz through injury, which has hurt their attack. Currently, the Gunners sit second in the Premier League standings with 53 points from 25 games, eleven points behind league leader Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta will be hoping his side can respond to the shocking defeat. The Gunners still hold a strong away record, as they have remained undefeated in the last eight Premier League games, winning five games and playing three draws. They have scored in each of their last eight away matches.
