Nottingham Forest’s home scoring record is the clearest test of Arsenal’s stronger away results, with form and availability adding further context before kickoff.
Before kickoff
The central question
The pre-match, provisional Premier League table places Nottingham Forest at #15 with 5 points from 6 games, while Arsenal are #2 with 15 points from 6 games. Arsenal are 10 points ahead of Forest, and Manchester City lead the league with 18 points. Forest trail the leaders by 13 points; Arsenal trail by 3.
The strongest contrast is at home and away. Forest’s home record this league season is 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 0 goals scored and 2 conceded. Arsenal’s away record is 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, with 3 goals scored and 3 conceded. Forest have 1 home clean sheet, while Arsenal have 2 away clean sheets.
Form and available goal threat
Across the most recent 6-match samples, Forest’s sequence is Loss, Draw, Draw, Win, Loss, Loss. Arsenal’s is Win, Win, Win, Win, Loss, Win. The supplied scorer-chart entry identifies B. Saka as Arsenal’s named goal threat, with 3 goals in 6 appearances.
Forest list Igor Jesus as missing with a calf injury; N. Milenkovic and N. Savona are questionable with knee injuries. Arsenal list P. Hincapie, W. Saliba and C. Tzolis as missing, with ankle, back and hamstring injuries respectively. M. Zubimendi is questionable with a knock.
Forest have used 3-4-2-1 in 6 matches, while Arsenal have used 4-2-3-1 in 6. Can Forest turn their home clean sheet record into a goal threat against an Arsenal side with 2 away clean sheets?
