These are the confirmed lineups for Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal in the Premier League at the City Ground. The Gunners currently sit six points clear of second-placed Manchester City. So far in 2026, Mikel Arteta’s team have beaten Bournemouth 3-2 and drawn 0-0 at home against Liverpool. Arteta was cagey in his pre-match press conference regarding players potentially returning from injury.
Forest will be disappointed by their FA Cup exit to Wrexham, but the win before that against West Ham was huge for Sean Dyche’s team. They currently sit 7 points clear of the relegation zone, and will be eager to maintain or even increase that cushion. Can Forest cause a shock against the league leaders? Or will the Gunners continue to dominate in the Premier League?
