Arsenal return to the ground where their Premier League title dream ended last term with this season’s hopes on the ropes. The Gunners are out of both cup competitions and they’ve fallen five points off the pace in the league, so they need to gain some momentum.

Defensive concerns for Arsenal
Arsenal sent out a message with their 5-0 win over Crystal Palace last time out, ending a four-game winless stretch.
The Gunners will hope they’re on their way back to the top, but Tuesday pits them against a Forest side who are better equipped to test them.
Nuno Espirito Santo isn’t known for being an attack-minded coach, but his Forest side have seen both teams score in six of their last seven matches.
His three matches at the City Ground have seen 12 goals scored, so expect them to get forward in this clash.
The Gunners have managed just two clean sheets across their last 10 games and they’ve managed only one across their previous 11 away trips.
While the visitors should have little trouble adding to their 42 league goals, Forest should find plenty of joy too.

Wood looking sharp for Nuno
One of the biggest changes Santo has brought to Forest is a bigger role for Chris Wood, who is revelling as the main man in attack.
Wood has scored six times since Santo arrived, while he has five goals and an assist across his last four Premier League outings.
It’s easy to see Wood being the kind of forward who gives the Arsenal defence some issues.
He’s quickly launched himself ahead of the rest of the squad in terms of Expected Goals and he’s getting plenty of chances, so he appeals at 4/1 to score anytime in this clash.

Another narrow win for Gunners
Arsenal have an exceptional record against the league’s weakest sides, securing maximum points from their eight clashes with the bottom seven.
Four of those wins have come on the road, but each of those victories have been by just a single goal.
Forest lost 2-1 at the Emirates earlier this season and they’ve been beaten by each of the top three.
Given that the hosts have lost seven of their last 10 league games, Arsenal should be good enough to avenge last season’s crushing loss at the City Ground.
Back them to come away with a 2-1 victory on Tuesday.
