Nottingham Forest play host to Arsenal at the weekend, with the Gunners likely to be playing catch-up to a Manchester City side before the weekend is out.
The Gunners are likely to be six points behind the league leaders before a ball is kicked at the City Ground. Speaking of the City Ground, the home side have been inconsistent under Oliver Glasner, with one win from six league games this season, three defeats and two draws. The Reds have averaged 0.9 points per game this season, and their only win this campaign was away from home at Aston Villa, as Glasner is yet to achieve a home league win as Forest manager.
The hosts are without a clean sheet in their last three matches and have only maintained one clean sheet in their last five home league fixtures as well.
Arsenal head into this game following a routine 3-0 win against French opposition Lille in midweek, to now extend their winning run to two games in all competitions. Arsenal's only loss this season was against a rampant Brighton & Hove Albion away from home, but overall the league record is good for the Gunners, with five wins in their last six matches.
Mikel Arteta's side are unbeaten in their last six matches in this fixture, with no goals conceded in the previous four meetings.
Bukayo Saka is likely to be the deciding factor in this fixture. The Arsenal forward has scored three goals this season and has scored three goals in his last six appearances against Forest.
Nottingham Forest 1-2 Arsenal
