Nottingham Forest are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Chelsea last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have slumped after an exceptional start to their campaign. The Gunners suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
- Arsenal have a good record against Nottingham Forest and have won 52 out of the 102 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Nottingham Forest's 28 victories.
- Nottingham Forest have won only two of their last 10 home league games against Arsenal - their previous such game against the Gunners in the Premier League ended in a 1-0 defeat in 1999.
- Arsenal won the reverse fixture by a 5-0 scoreline and could complete a Premier League double over Nottingham Forest for the first time since the 1998-99 campaign.
- Arsenal have won their last four league games against Nottingham Forest and have never won five such games in a row in the history of the competition.
