Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

Arsenal's form at home stretching back for the last few seasons has been superb, so I don't see them losing this. Forest have a new manager in the house but the Australian may have to wait for the "new manager bounce."

Arsenal Form

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are in good long-term form and have won seven of their previous 10 in all competitions.

The North Londoners started the 2025/26 season positively and beat Man United 1-0 away and Leeds 5-0 at the Emirates. Gyokeres scored twice in the one-sided home win over Leeds.

Arsenal dropped to third in the Premier League table following a 1-0 loss at Liverpool. The Gunners restricted Liverpool to 0.53 XG and conceded with just seven minutes left.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest sacked Nuno Espirito Santo during the international break. The Midlands club replaced him with new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Forest are in patchy form and have won just once in their last 11 matches. They began the Premier League campaign with a 3-1 home win over Brentford and a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

The Tricky Trees lost 3-0 at home against West Ham in Espirito Santo’s last game. Forest allowed 2.42 XG and conceded three goals in the final 10 minutes.

Verdict

Arsenal v Nottm Forest

Arsenal are a top-quality side and can comfortably defeat Nottingham Forest at home. Gyokeres has found good scoring form at the Emirates and he can fire the Gunners to victory in the Premier League.
