Nottingham Forest - Arsenal

Nottingham Forest enter this matchday 7 encounter looking to regain momentum after a difficult result against Crystal Palace. Their recent form has been inconsistent, marked by a resilient draw against Liverpool and a notable win over Aston Villa, though they must now navigate the challenge without the injured Nikola Milenkovic and Igor Jesus. The expected XI, featuring Liam Delap and Morgan Gibbs-White, faces the task of stabilizing a side that has struggled to find rhythm in the early weeks of the season.

Arsenal arrive at City Ground, Nottingham, in high spirits following a dominant Champions League victory over Lille and a hard-fought win against Leeds United. While Christos Tzolis remains sidelined, the visitors boast a formidable lineup led by Martin Oedegaard and Bukayo Saka. Having shared the spoils in a goalless stalemate here on 17 January 2026, both sides meet again to test their current resolve in a pivotal Premier League fixture.
