Nottingham Forest - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest have a difficult task on their hands as they attempt to avoid losing a third successive Premier League fixture. They have only had an away win at Aston Villa this season, but since then they've lost at home to Coventry City and last weekend were beaten 3-1 at Crystal Palace.
Home form has produced only one point from three games. That came in a goalless draw with Tottenham. The other two home league games have both been lost and they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Leeds who have also beaten them at the City Ground in the Premier League.
Not one goal scored at home this season by Forest.
They are yet to score a home league goal this season and have gone six at the City Ground without a victory.
Arsenal have won all of their matches this season apart from a 3-0 loss at in-form Brighton and Hove Albion. The Gunners were successful in midweek as they beat Lille 3-0 at home in the Champions League. Four of their last five games have seen more than 2.5 goals scored and their last two away games have seen nine goals scored.
Forest haven't scored against them in their last four meetings, two won 3-0 by Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest & Arsenal Squad Analysis
Arsenal have a few injury concerns ahead of this trip to Nottingham Forest. Piero Hincapie is going to be out for a few weeks and also missing in midweek was Martin Zubimendi. Arteta is hopeful that Zubimendi will be able to play some part in this fixture. They remain without William Saliba and Christos Tzolis.
Arsenal have such a strong squad now and they left several key players out for the Lille win. Saka, Havertz and Odegaard only appeared briefly in that Champions league fixture, but they are all expected to start this Premier League match against Forest.
Gibbs-White could miss this match.
The home side struggled last season and another relegation battle is looking likely this term. They are yet to score a home league or cup game this season and have lost their last two fixtures. Bad news for Forest is that Morgan Gibbs-White was injured last week and he is a doubt for this weekend.
Better news is that Nikola Milenkovic is back in training and could play in this match. Still out are Igor Jesus and Nicolo Savona.
