Premier League leaders Arsenal will be confident of three points on Saturday evening, as they travel to the Midlands for a crucial encounter against lowly Notts Forest.
Arsenal have asserted their authority at the top of the table thanks to a run of five wins and a draw from their last six matches. With the likes of Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka, David Reya and Declan Rice all in top form, the Gunners look firmly on course for their first title in over 20 years.
Forest's vital victory at West Ham last week gave them some vital breathing space at the bottom of the table. Sean Dyche's men are now seven points clear of the relegation zone, but will be desperate to get a few more points on the board to avoid being sucked back into the battle to avoid the drop.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be a routine away win for the league leaders.
Forest were somewhat fortunate to pick up three points at West Ham and their overall performances have been pretty poor over the last month.
In contrast, the Gunners are absolutely flying at the moment, so it is hard to make a case for Forest causing them many problems on Saturday.
Not only do we think that Arsenal will cruise to three points at the City Ground, but we are also backing them to keep a clean sheet in the process.
Our prediction for Notts Forest vs Arsenal is: Arsenal to win to nil.
