By FootieRadar Desk · Published · 2 min read
Nottingham Forest have lost their last two and sit 16th on five points from six Premier League games. Arsenal are second on 15 points, have won five of those six, and arrive on the back of two straight wins.
Kick-off is Sunday 18 October, 6:30pm Kenya time, with Michael Oliver refereeing. Two sides heading in opposite directions meet at the City Ground.
Forest's slide in the table
Forest have one win, two draws and three defeats from six league games. Their two most recent results are both defeats: a 1-3 loss at Crystal Palace on 11 October and a 0-1 home defeat to Coventry on 19 September.
The trouble runs at both ends. Forest have failed to score in three of their six league games and kept one clean sheet. Across their last five matches in all competitions, they have scored five and conceded seven.

Arsenal's league form
Arsenal have won their last two: 2-1 at home to Leeds on 10 October, then 3-0 at home to Lille in the Champions League on 13 October. Their only league defeat came at Brighton, 0-3 on 19 September.
Across their last five matches in all competitions, Arsenal have scored 11 and conceded six, with four wins and one defeat. They have kept three clean sheets in six league games, the tighter of the two defences.
Injuries: Arsenal's list is longer
Forest are without Igor Jesus, who misses the fixture with a calf injury. N. Milenkovic and N. Savona are both questionable with knee injuries.
Arsenal have more absences. P. Hincapie (ankle), W. Saliba (back) and C. Tzolis (hamstring) are all missing, and M. Zubimendi is questionable with a knock.
Head-to-head: Arsenal hold the edge
Arsenal have won three of the last five meetings and drawn the other two, so Forest have won none of them. Their most recent league win over Forest was 3-0 at home on 13 September 2025. The last meeting, on 17 January, ended goalless.
What the numbers point to
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's top league scorer with three goals, while Forest's Dan Ndoye has two. The gap in results is the clearest signal in the data.
The betting market's view, at the time of writing, is Arsenal 59%, a draw 25% and Forest 16%. These figures come from Pinnacle's odds with the bookmaker's margin removed, and they point the same way as the league form.
