Nottingham Forest host Arsenal at The City Ground on Sunday, October 18 (11:30 AM ET \/ 10:30 AM CT \/ 8:30 AM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest will check the teamsheet for the injured Igor Jesus (calf\/shin\/heel), the injured Nikola Milenkovic (knee) and the injured Nicolo Savona (knee), none of whom are available at the City Ground, leaving Morgan Gibbs-White, Dan Ndoye and Liam Delap to carry the home side’s attacking threat. Arsenal travel without the injured William Saliba (lower back) and the injured Christos Tzolis (thigh), with the doubtful Piero Hincapie (ankle\/foot) also touch-and-go, though Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori remain the spine of the visiting side.<\/p>\n

On the back of five points from six games and a -three goal difference, Forest head into this one looking to arrest a run that includes defeats to Crystal Palace and Coventry City, while Arsenal’s 15 points and +5 difference from the same number of matches make them an awkward visit to navigate. The signs point to something scrappy at the City Ground, Forest set up to make life difficult without the firepower to turn containment into control, and Arsenal content to see out a tight, low-scoring afternoon rather than chase a flurry of goals.<\/p>\n\n\n
