2️⃣ 🔥 Key Factors and Expected Outcome

Arsenal are under pressure to bounce back after a shock defeat to West Ham. Nottingham Forest's home form is a factor, but Arsenal's superior quality and need for points to keep pace with Liverpool should be decisive. Expect Arsenal to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities.

3️⃣ 📈 Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch

• Nottingham Forest: Recent form is patchy, highlighted by a thrilling 4-3 loss to Newcastle and a heavy 5-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Chris Wood is their key man, with 5 goals and 1 assist in his last 3 home games.
• Arsenal: Stumbled with a 0-1 loss to West Ham, ending a 15-match unbeaten run. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are still out injured, limiting Arsenal's attacking options. Ethan Nwaneri is fit after a cramp scare and could be key. Riccardo Calafiori is likely to start at left-back due to Lewis-Skelly's suspension.

4️⃣ 🎯 Tactical Preview

• Nottingham Forest: Under Nuno Espírito Santo, Forest are likely to be organized defensively and look to exploit Arsenal on the counter-attack. Their home form suggests they will be aggressive.
• Arsenal: Expect Arsenal to control possession and press high. With injuries in attack, Mikel Arteta may opt for a tactical tweak, potentially a back five, to solidify the defense. The midfield battle between Odegaard, Partey, Rice and Gibbs-White will be crucial.

5️⃣ 📢 Summary and Key Takeaways

Arsenal need a strong response after their recent setback. While Nottingham Forest's home form can't be ignored, Arsenal's superior quality should see them through. All eyes will be on how Arsenal's makeshift attack performs without key players like Saka and Martinelli.
