Nottingham Forest will lock horns with title favourites and log leaders, Arsenal FC, in the Premier League at the City Ground on 17 January.
Current Form
The Tricky Trees snapped their four-match winless run in the English top-flight when they claimed a 2-1 victory over West Ham United away on 6 January.
However, Forest are winless in their last two home matches in the Premier League, having recorded two consecutive defeats at the City Ground.
Meanwhile, Arsenal drew 0-0 with Liverpool FC at home on 8 January and they are undefeated in their last six games in the league.
The Gunners are also unbeaten in their last two matches on the road in the league, having recorded two consecutive victories as the away side.
Team News
Forest have no suspension concerns coming into this match, but Ryan Yates, Dan Ndoye, Chris Wood, John Victor and Callum Hudson-Odoi are all on the club's injury list.
Willy Boly and Ibrahim Sangare were both part of the Ivory Coast squad at the 2025 AFCON squad, but they are back at Forest after the Elephants' elimination.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have Cristhian Mosquera, Max Dowman, Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie on their injury list, but they don't have suspension worries.
The Gunners had no players participating in the 2025 AFCON.
Quotes
“We need everybody to be at it,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said ahead of his side's matches against Chelsea FC (January 14) and Forest (January 17).
“We have so many games coming up in different competitions, so we need to be at it. I think we are very privileged to be where we are.
"And the games that we have to play, which means that we are in every competition.”
Head-to-Head
Arsenal secured a 3-0 win over Forest in their last meeting in the league, which was in September 2025 at the Emirates Stadium.
Therefore, the Gunners are undefeated in their last five Premier League matches against the Tricky Trees, having registered four wins and one draw.
