Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Odds
How both teams go into Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Nottingham Forest has arguably been the surprise package of this Premier League season. After 26 matches—more than 65% of the 2024/25 campaign—they currently sit in third place. While winning a second-ever top-flight title seems unlikely, Forest has the opportunity to bring European Cup football back to the City Ground. However, competition for a top-four finish is intensifying, with Manchester City, Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Newcastle closely pursuing them. Only leaders Liverpool (19 wins) and second-place Arsenal (15 wins) have recorded more victories than Forest, who are showing signs of inconsistency with two wins and three losses in their last five Premier League matches, following a six-game winning streak.
If there is one team who could prevent Liverpool from claiming the Premier League title, it is Arsenal. Currently, the Gunners are 11 points behind the Reds but have played one game less. Despite missing several key attackers, the Gunners have done well to position themselves competitively after going through a difficult phase. Arsenal were on a 15-game unbeaten streak, with 10 wins and five draws, following a period where they lost two matches and drew one across three games, before losing to West Ham at the weekend.
Nottingham Forest team news
There are no return dates available for injured duo Taiwo Awoniyi and Carlos Miguel, who are currently undergoing assessment.
Arsenal team news
Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz will be unavailable for Arsenal until the next season. Bukayo Saka is expected to be sidelined for at least another month, and there is currently no timeline for the return of Gabriel Martinelli and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal head-to-head
Arsenal will be looking to make it four consecutive Premier League wins over Nottingham Forest, having only lost three matches to Forest in their previous 12 meetings.
