*Odds correct as of 08:30 on January 22

We’re in the second half of the 2023/24 Premier League season, and things are heating up at both ends of the table. Arsenal are fighting for the top four and title, occupying third place. They suffered a rough patch to end 2023, going winless in three, including back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Fulham, but returned to winning ways against Crystal Palace last time out.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, were getting dangerously close to the relegation zone. A poor run of form under Steve Cooper saw Forest in danger of falling into the bottom three, which caused the board to make a change. Nuno Espirito Santo was brought in, and while he lost his first game to Bournemouth, Forest won their next two league matches — over Manchester United and Newcastle United — however, they suffered a loss to Brentford in the most recent matchday.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal match tip

Double Chance: Nottingham Forest/Draw @ 9/5 with Midnite

You will likely bank on an Arsenal win when you look at these two teams on paper. But there are reasons why that isn’t guaranteed. Firstly, there’s Arsenal’s form, and they are winless in their last four away games across all competitions, losing the last two. Then, you have to consider that Nottingham Forest have won their last three home games against Arsenal, including a 1-0 victory last season.
