On Saturday evening in the days late kickoff in the Premier League, we see Nottingham Forest take on Arsenal in a fascinating matchup at the City Ground. Steve Cooper’s side will be looking to put Arsenal’s title hopes to an end and push themselves closer to retaining their Premier League status.

League Form

At the start of the season, Steve Cooper’s side spent a huge £146M on transfers to try and help them stay in Premier League come next season.

Nottingham Forest are now three points above the relegation zone and a win on Saturday would pretty much confirm their Premier League status for next season.

In their recent league game, they managed to pick up a valuable point against a struggling Chelsea side.

Arsenal are currently sat second in the Premier League but after their recent loss against Brighton their title hopes are hanging on by a thread. In their last six Premier League games the Gunners have only managed to win two games.

At one point in the season, Arsenal sat thirteen points clear at the top of the Premier League table but due to their recent form they have been overtaken by a Manchester City side who you just can’t see getting beat at the moment.

Crucial players

Arsenal’s key man this season has undoubtedly been Bukayo Saka. The Englishman has played a key role in Arsenal’s dramatic improvement this season.

The youngster has had twenty-four goal contributions this season in the Premier League, scoring thirteen and registering eleven assists. The Gunners have been very fortunate to create a brilliant homegrown talent like Saka.

Nottingham Forest’s main talisman this season has been Taiwo Awoniyi. Steve Cooper’s side paid a fee of £17.2M for the Nigerian from Union Berlin in the summer.

Awoniyi has now scored eight goals in the league this season and will be looking to add more to his tally in the last two Premier League games.

Previous matchup

In October, the two sides met at the Emirates. Arsenal annihilated Nottingham Forest 5-0, thanks to goals from Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Martinelli and a brace from Reiss Nelson.
