Premier League: Live Score- Arsenal VS Nottingham Forest: Prediction, Probable lineups, Head-to-head, Key stats

Manchester City's victory over Leicester on Saturday pushed the Gunners off the top spot, but Mikel Arteta's squad will be hopeful of another success.

Forest will feel confident they can pull off another upset this week, having defeated Liverpool 1-0 in their previous meeting.

Nottingham Forest is now at the bottom of the Premier League standings and has struggled thus far this year.

Last week, the visiting team stunned Liverpool with a 1-0 victory and will attempt to pull off another upset in this contest.

On the other hand, Arsenal currently leads the league table and has exceeded expectations this season.

This weekend, the Gunners will try to rebound from their 2-0 loss to PSV Eindhoven in their last match.

Mikel Arteta referred to a "reset" following the midweek loss to PSV Eindhoven, and the Gunners must rededicate themselves to the Premier League.

Following a tight victory at Leeds United, Arsenal blundered at Southampton and lost two points. Stuart Armstrong's equalizer in the second half cancelled Granit Xhaka's first-half goal, and the Gunners failed to answer.

Arteta would like to enter the World Cup break on a solid note and would need to win the last three games.

As for head-to-head stats, Arsenal has won 51 times, while Forest has managed to take home 28 games. With 22 matches ending in a draw.

Key stats for the match

• In 10 Premier League matchups against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal has won six and lost only once.
• Only two of Nottingham Forest's last 27 Premier League away games against Arsenal have resulted in a victory, and both came under Brian Clough in 1987 and 1989.
• Nottingham Forest has failed to score in their previous four Premier League away contests.
• Nottingham Forest has failed to win their previous six Premier League away games.

Arsenal predicted lineup

Oleksandr Zinchenko will likely return to action before the World Cup break; thus, Mikel Arteta will again be without him.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, who were among those rested for the trip to PSV, are expected to return. The home team is still missing Emile Smith Rowe and Mohamed Elneny.

Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus will both be returning to the starting lineup.

Probable lineup: Ramsdale, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus, Tomiyasu, White, Saliba, Tierney, Xhaka, Partey

Nottingham Forest predicted the lineup

Forest is still without Omar Richards, Moussa Niakhate, Harry Toffolo, and Jack Colback, although Lewis O'Brien could return to the lineup.

It remains to be seen if O'Brien recovered adequately in time for the trip to the Emirates. Still, Cooper should leave most of his starting lineup intact following the remarkable victory over Liverpool.

Probable lineup: Henderson, Gibbs-White, Awoniyi, Johnson, Aurier, Cook, McKenna, Williams, Yates, Kouyate, Freuler

Arsenal VS Nottingham prediction

This season, Arsenal at home has been a force to be reckoned with, and Cooper has yet to find an answer for his side's wastefulness in away games. A return to the familiar territory should be the recipe for three points for Arsenal here.

Final prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Nottingham Forest
