Nottingham Forest v Arsenal

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Preview

Nottingham Forest were unable to make it three league wins on the trot in the Premier League last time out as the Tricky Trees were dealt a disappointing 3-2 defeat away from home at Brentford, leaving Forest sitting just two places above the relegation zone, while Arsenal thrashed London rivals Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Emirates Stadium which lifted The Gunners up into third spot and level on points with Manchester City.

That recent defeat away from home at Brentford have left Nottingham Forest just four points above third from bottom club, Luton Town, ahead of Tuesday night's tough looking clash with Arsenal despite holding home advantage at their City Ground.

Nottingham Forest had previously captured back-to-back wins against Newcastle United and Manchester United respectively but these victories have proved to be the exception to the rule where Nottingham Forest have been concerned of late in the English top flight as these have been the Tricky Trees' only highlights in their last 10 league matches. Within this previous 10-match sequence, Nottingham Forest have slipped to a total of seven defeats in the process, while the bigger picture shows Nuno Espiritio Santo's side have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 17 matches overall in the Premier League.

Arsenal revived their flagging title ambitions in the English top flight last time out when they inflicted a heavy 5-0 defeat upon Crystal Palace which ended a dismal three-match winless run in the Premier League which consisted of two defeats and a draw.

A 1-1 draw away from home at Liverpool was followed by back-to-back defeats to West Ham and Fulham respectively but the recent thrashing of Palace will give The Gunners renewed confidence that they can not only grab the all-important three points away from home at Nottingham Forest but to also mount a serious challenge on the league title as well.

Arsenal have lost just three out of their last 10 matches overall in the top flight which includes an earlier loss away from home at Aston Villa but having also collected six wins within this period as well, the north London outfit look the more likely to capture the three points in this upcoming clash at the City Ground on Tuesday night.

In addition, Arsenal have won five out of their last 10 outings on the road in the Premier League as well, with four of these five away wins also seeing Arsenal keeping clean sheets as well.
