Nottingham Forest have won their last three home games against Arsenal in all competitions, winning FA Cup ties in 2018 (4-2) and 2022 (1-0), and 1-0 in this exact fixture last season. They’ve never won four consecutive home games against the Gunners before.
Arsenal have won five of their last six Premier League games against Nottingham Forest (L1) and are looking to do the double over them in the competition for just the second time (also 1998-99).
Since their return to the Premier League last season, Nottingham Forest have dropped 46 points from winning positions, at least 11 more than any other side in the competition.
No side have kept more Premier League clean sheets than Arsenal this season (8). However, the Gunners are looking to record a shutout in consecutive league games for just the second time this term, previously doing so with wins against Bournemouth (4-0) and Man City (1-0) in September/October.
Having won their first three Premier League away games this season, Arsenal have won just two of their last seven on the road (D2 L3). They’re winless in their last three away league games (D1 L2) – they’ve not had a longer run under Mikel Arteta since his first six such games in charge between December 2019 and June 2020 (D4 L2).
Arsenal have scored the most goals from set-piece situations in the Premier League this season (13, excluding penalties), the most from corners (10) and the most headed goals (10). Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have conceded the most from set pieces (11), and only Brentford (11) have conceded more from headers (9).
Nottingham Forest’s last two Premier League wins have been against sides that finished in last season’s top four, beating Newcastle United 3-1 and Manchester United 2-1. Forest had won just two of their previous 36 such games in the competition (D8 L26).
Nuno Espírito Santo’s four Premier League games in charge of Nottingham Forest have produced a total of 17 goals (F9 A8), an average of 4.3 per game. This is almost two goals per game more than his spells in the competition with Wolves (2.4) and Tottenham Hotspur (2.5).
Chris Wood has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League appearances (5 goals, 1 assist), as many as in his previous 45 combined. Wood is averaging a league goal every 72 minutes under Nuno Espírito Santo, while converting 50% of his shots since the Portuguese took charge.
Gabriel Martinelli scored twice in a 21-minute substitute appearance in Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Crystal Palace last time out, as many goals as he’d netted in his previous 22 Premier League games combined.
