Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Preview

Nottingham Forest host Arsenal at The City Ground on Saturday evening with the two sides showing starkly contrasting form. Forest suffered a 3-3 draw against Wrexham in the FA Cup in their most recent outing, though that result was technically a loss requiring extra time & penalties. Their league form has been dreadful, with four defeats in their last five matches including a 2-1 victory away at West Ham as the sole bright spot. Arsenal, meanwhile, secured a 3-2 away victory at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, extending their impressive unbeaten run to five matches with four wins and one draw.

Forest’s struggles are evident across their recent fixtures. They lost 3-1 away at Aston Villa, suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Everton, and fell 1-2 at home to Manchester City in their three league matches prior to the West Ham triumph. Arsenal’s form demonstrates remarkable consistency with their 4-1 away win at Portsmouth in the FA Cup complementing league victories of 3-2 away at Bournemouth and 4-1 at home to Aston Villa. Their only dropped points came in a goalless home draw with Liverpool.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Arsenal, who have won four of the last five meetings with the remaining match ending in a draw. Arsenal claimed a 3-0 home victory in September 2025 and repeated that scoreline at home in November 2024. They also won 2-1 away at Forest in January 2024 and 2-1 at home in August 2023. The sides played out a goalless draw at The City Ground in February 2025.
