🏟️ Match Details

Competition: Premier League
Date: Sat 17th Jan 2026
Time: 17:30pm BST.
Venue: The City Ground

📊 Form & Context

Nottingham Forest
Forest are battling to stay clear of the relegation zone and have shown mixed form recently. They secured a crucial late 2–1 win over West Ham United, snapping a poor run and giving their survival hopes a boost. However, they were eliminated from the FA Cup in dramatic fashion by Wrexham just days later, leaving questions over squad confidence and rotation decisions.

Arsenal
Arsenal enter this tie as clear favourites, with their recent league run showing strength — including a goalless draw with Liverpool in early January as they maintained momentum near the Premier League summit.

The Gunners have historically dominated this fixture and hold a strong head-to-head record, though they’ve shown occasional road vulnerabilities this season. Models still favour an away win but acknowledge Forest’s ability to cause problems at the City Ground.
