Arsenal, strong at home, are tipped to defeat Nottingham Forest, who recently appointed Ange Postecoglou after sacking Nuno Espirito Santo. The Gunners have an excellent track record at the Emirates and a dominant history against Forest. Viktor Gyokeres, in fine home scoring form, is favored to find the net. Arsenal are expected to win comfortably with over 2.5 goals likely, making them a prime pick for bettors. Despite Forest's managerial change, an immediate turnaround is unlikely based on recent performance trends.

Arsenal Form


Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are in good long-term form and have won seven of their previous 10 in all competitions. 

The North Londoners started the 2025/26 season positively and beat Man United 1-0 away and Leeds 5-0 at the Emirates. Gyokeres scored twice in the one-sided home win over Leeds.

Arsenal dropped to third in the Premier League table following a 1-0 loss at Liverpool. The Gunners restricted Liverpool to 0.53 XG and conceded with just seven minutes left. 

Nottingham Forest Form 


Nottingham Forest sacked Nuno Espirito Santo during the international break. The Midlands club replaced him with new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Forest are in patchy form and have won just once in their last 11 matches. They began the Premier League campaign with a 3-1 home win over Brentford and a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

The Tricky Trees lost 3-0 at home against West Ham in Espirito Santo’s last game. Forest allowed 2.42 XG and conceded three goals in the final 10 minutes.
