Arsenal are second in the table heading into the weekend’s fixtures, three points behind Manchester City
Nottingham Forest are aiming to stop a two-game losing run
The Tricky Trees have yet to score at home this season
Arsenal responded from their first setback of the season with a win over Leeds last weekend and the Gunners look capable of registering another victory when heading to struggling Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The City Ground has not been a happy home this season for the Tricky Trees, who have lost three and drawn one of their four matches in all competitions and have failed to score in any of those contests.
A visit of reigning Premier League champions Arsenal is the last thing Forest will have wanted and this could turn out to be another disappointing afternoon in Nottinghamshire for the hosts.

Score prediction
Team News
Forest are without the services of Igor Jesus, Nikola Milenkovic and Nicolo Savona.
Piero Hincapie, William Saliba and Christos Tzolis remain sidelined for Arsenal, who are sweating over the fitness of Martin Zubimendi due to a foot injury.
Need to know
Forest are still finding their feet under new manager Oliver Glasner, especially in the final third as their tally of five goals scored is the joint second-lowest in the division.
No goals at home in four matches is a big concern for the Tricky Trees and they may struggle to change that statistic when hosting Arsenal, who have kept three clean sheets on their travels and have not conceded at the City Ground since January 2024.
Prediction
Arsenal were soundly beaten 3-0 at Brighton before the international break but they have responded in the way expected of them, with a 2-1 win over Leeds followed by a 3-0 triumph against Lille.
The Gunners have recorded three wins to nil on their travels this season and that defensive resilience can see them overcome Forest, who have not scored at home and have failed to net in the last four meetings with Arsenal.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka looks like a solid shout to get on the scoresheet, something he has achieved in two of his last four appearances.
The England international was also on target in the away wins at Aston Villa (1-0) and Sunderland (2-0).
Round off this bet builder with Forest defender Murillo to get a card, which has happened in two of his last three appearances.
