**The Tricky Trees will be under pressure and the Gunners will surely use it to their advantage. Arsenal are likely to come out on top and secure a win in their upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest**

****

**Match info: Premier League**

**Venue:** City Ground, Nottingham

**Date:** Saturday, 17th January 2026

**Time:** 6:30 pm Nigerian time

Still fighting on all four fronts, Premier League leaders Arsenal venture north for Saturday's Premier League scrap with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

The Gunners emerged 3-2 victors in Wednesday's EFL Cup semi-final first leg with Chelsea, a few days after the Tricky Trees' excruciating FA Cup exit to Wrexham.

**Head-to-head:**

- Nottingham Forest have won two of the 17 Premier League meetings between the two teams.
- Arsenal recorded 17 victories.
- The remaining four clashes ended in draws.
- Arsenal have won four of their last five Premier League matches.
- Nottingham Forest have only won one of their last five games.
- The Garibaldis haven’t secured a win in their last five meetings against the Gunners.
- Nottingham Forest did not score in their last three games against the Gunners.
- Six of their last 10 encounters produced at least three goals.

**Form:**

- Nottingham Forest in the league: L-L-L-L-W
- Nottingham Forest in all competitions: L-L-L-W-L
- Arsenal in the league: W-W-W-W-D
- Arsenal in all competitions: W-W-D-W-W

**Team News:**

- Nottingham Forest will miss out on the services of Ryan Yates, Chris Wood and John Victor. They are injured. Oleksandr Zinchenko is suspended.
- Piero Hincapie, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori and Max Dowman are not going to be in action for Arsenal due to their injuries.

**Player(s) to watch:**

- **Morgan Gibbs-White** has scored back-to-back goals in the last two games for Nottingham Forest. He will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the dominating Arsenal. The 25-year-old can control the midfield well and is also capable of scoring goals.
- **Viktor Gyökeres** is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for the Gunners. Even though he has not been in the best of form, the 27-year-old is still going to play an important part in the squad. He scored a goal and bagged an assist against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. Gyökeres will be keen to come up with another top performance.
