As part of Matchday 22 of the English Premier League, one of the league’s outsiders, Nottingham Forest, will host the season’s leaders Arsenal at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest come into this match in high spirits after finally securing a long-awaited victory last week. They managed to defeat West Ham United away from home by 2–1, earning three extremely important points against a direct rival in the relegation zone. This result boosted the team’s confidence and kept their survival hopes alive.
Arsenal, on the other hand, failed to beat Liverpool at home in the previous round. For many fans this was an unexpected result, as the Gunners were clear favourites. However, the bigger concern was not the dropped points but the overall performance—Liverpool looked strong and competitive, even controlling certain parts of the match.

Prediction for the Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Nottingham Forest will try to squeeze every possible point from this game by playing deep in defence and relying on quick counter-attacks. Arsenal, of course, will come for all three points, even though they have a comfortable lead over Manchester City and Aston Villa. Despite a busy schedule, the visitors are clearly the stronger side, so the best bet here is an Arsenal win.
