Top plays bottom in the Premier League as Arsenal look to get back to winning ways in their clash against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium on October 30.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Predictions
Arsenal’s Current Run of Form
Despite their draw away to Southampton on October 23, Arsenal remain top of the Premier League and have won four of their last five fixtures in all competitions. Their performances have dropped a level, with three of those games ending in narrow 1-0 victories for the Gunners, but they are getting the job done for the most part, and given the hectic schedule that all teams are facing, that is the most important thing at this current moment in time.
Nottingham Forest Current Run of Form
Nottingham Forest remain bottom of the Premier League and have drawn twice and lost twice in their last five games. However, Steve Cooper’s men will no doubt be buoyed by their 1-0 triumph over Liverpool in their most recent match and will come into this game believing they are capable of causing another upset.

Recent Head-to-Head
These two sides have collided just three times since 2018, with all three meetings occurring in domestic cup competitions. Surprisingly though, Forest have come out on top in those three games, twice knocking the Gunners out of the English FA Cup.
The first came in 2018, when a brace from The Reds’ right back, Eric Lichaj, helped Forest secure a 4-2 victory at the City Ground. The second came much more recently when a single goal from Lewis Grabban was enough to seal yet another triumph for Nottingham Forest over Arsenal in front of their home fans on January 9 2022.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
The good news for Arsenal fans is that both defeats occurred when they played away at the City Ground. However, in this fixture, they’ll be on home turf. The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium has been electric this season, and that energy within the stadium will be vital to Mikel Arteta’s men. Nottingham Forest will not make it easy for them, particularly after their shock victory against Liverpool. The Gunner’s superior quality and home support should see them get the win in this one.
