Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: Premier League preview
It remains to be seen whether Forest's buffer in the relegation battle will free them up a little but one thing's for sure: with Dyche at the helm and Arsenal visiting the City Ground on Saturday, it's not going to start this weekend.
Forest's previous match was against Aston Villa and they set out to stifle the opposition from the start but never actually looked capable of keeping them out.
They were expected to lose that game and they did. It's likely to be the same story against Arsenal with two Europa League matches to come and both Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers to play before mid-February, there are bigger days and nights ahead.
It shouldn't be overlooked that this fixture was a goalless draw back in February 2025. A result like that would be a huge bonus for any of the teams in and around the drop zone, not to mention a boost to any hopes of a meaningful title race.
Tickets
Arsenal aren't exactly running away at the top but they are maintaining that steady and significant six-point gap ahead of Manchester City, who would admit to being in a title race, and Villa, who wouldn't.
The Gunners seem to be playing with a freakish intensity since their defeat at Villa Park and it's served them well so far. Before the eventful goalless draw at home against Liverpool, Arsenal won five in a row in the league.
Occupying top spot in the Premier League and Champions League in the middle of January is a positive in anyone's language and Arsenal are favourites to win both. It's a big challenge and they will falter along the way, but this is a team still in four competitions and beaten only twice in any of them.
There's really no limit to what Arsenal can achieve this season. Mikel Arteta will want it all, no doubt. They even have margin for error in the two priority competitions. Using some of it against Forest seems rather unlikely.
