Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is indicated.

Arsenal

The Gunners enter this match on a four-game winless streak. The last time the team went this long without a win in the Premier League was in April last year, which cost them the title to Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's side drew with Liverpool (2-2) and Chelsea (1-1), and lost to Bournemouth (0-2) and Newcastle (0-1). As a result, the club has dropped to fourth place, with just one point separating them from ninth.

• The Londoners have conceded in their last seven league matches.
• At home, Arsenal is unbeaten in eight Premier League games, with six wins and two draws.
• The Gunners have not trailed at halftime in 14 consecutive home Premier League matches (9 wins and 5 draws).

Nottingham Forest

Nuno Espírito Santo's side lost 1-3 at home to Newcastle in the last round. Before that, the club was unbeaten in four consecutive Premier League matches, with three wins and one draw. Nottingham is one step below Arsenal, trailing only on goal difference. It's also worth noting Nottingham Forest's defense, which has conceded just 10 goals. Only Liverpool (6 goals) has a better defensive record.

• A maximum of three goals have been scored in 9 of Nottingham's last 12 league games.
• Nottingham Forest opened the scoring in their last five Premier League matches.
• The club has not won the first half in 20 of their last 22 away Premier League matches (13 draws and 7 losses).

Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest: Match Prediction

This season, the top ten teams are closely packed, with just one point separating the third and ninth places, so losing points can quickly drop a team down the standings. Notably, the opponents are neighbors in the league table and are vying for a top-four spot. I believe it will be very difficult for the Londoners in this match, so I am hesitant to back a straight win for them. Instead, I prefer a bet on them not losing and the match having a maximum of three goals.

Nottingham is dangerous even on the road, where they are unbeaten in seven consecutive Premier League matches. The team is very strong defensively and dangerous on counterattacks. Nuno Espírito Santo will employ the same strategy in the upcoming match. Breaking down one of the league's best defenses will be difficult for Arsenal, especially since Nottingham Forest has conceded more than one goal in only one of their last seven away Premier League matches. Arsenal has been struggling with finishing – in the last four league matches and two Champions League games, they have scored more than one goal only once.

My prediction: 1X and Total under 3.5 goals
