Nottingham Forest Struggle at the City Ground

Nottingham Forest are an inconsistent side and lack home form. The Tricky Trees are winless in their last six competitive games at the City Ground, losing three.

All three home defeats have come this season. Forest lost their opening two games against Leeds 1-0 and 2-0 and were beaten 1-0 against Coventry.

Oliver Glasner’s side also lost 3-1 away at Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Reds were wasteful with 3.34 XG, missing eight big chances and Dan Ndoye’s goal wasn’t enough to secure the win.

Arsenal Have Winning Momentum

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal made a flying start to the new season and won their opening seven games. The Gunners kept five clean sheets and won four away matches in that run.

The North Londoners’ only loss this season was a 3-0 defest at third place Brighton. Arsenal responded and beat Leeds 2-1 at home with 2.33 XG and 58% possession.

The Gunners sealed a second consecutive win and comfortably beat Lille 3-0 in the Champions League. Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka scored and Arsenal dominated with 1.7-0.3 XG.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Nottingham Forest (3-4-2-1): Matz Sels; Ola Aina, Ousmane Diomande, Murillo; Daniel Munoz, Xaver Schlager, James McAtee, Neco Williams; Morgan Gibbs-White, Dan Ndoye; Liam Delap

Centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, full-back Nicolo Savona and striker Igor Jesus are injured and unavailable.

Oliver Glanser issued a recent update on Jesus’ calf problem and said the striker “will be out for a few weeks.”

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Ben White, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori; Declan Rice, Myles Lewis-Skelly; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke; Kai Havertz

Defender Piero Hincapie, attacker Christos Tzolis and defender William Saliba are sidelined with injuries.

Martin Zubimendi is expected to return after missing the Lille match with an ankle issue. Mikel Arteta was hopeful the midfielder would recover for the Forest match and said:

"Zubi I expect, yeah [only days]. We have to see the moment he goes on that pitch, how he deals with the pain and some small feelings that he will have."

Verdict

Nottm Forest v Arsenal

Nottingham Forest have had some disappointing Premier League defeats recently and are lacking consistency. Arsenal can take advantage and win to keep chase at the top of the table.
