Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest LIVE!
Arsenal return to Premier League action this afternoon following the final international break of 2024 with a potentially tough home clash against Nottingham Forest. There is surely preciously little margin for error left for the Gunners in the title race after a difficult, injury-plagued start to the new season that has seen them win none of their last four top-flight games to fall to fourth and nine points off early leaders Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta’s side are among a gaggle of teams currently sitting on 19 points, with today’s opponents heading into the weekend only one spot behind Arsenal by virtue of a slightly inferior goal difference. It’s been an excellent campaign for Forest so far despite their loss to Newcastle before the break, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side still unbeaten away from home and stunning the likes of Liverpool at Anfield.
Arsenal should have the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard fit this afternoon and hope Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka can feature too at the Emirates Stadium after knocks, though Ben White is facing months on the sidelines following knee surgery.
