- Arsenal have won two of their three away games in the Premier League 2026/2027 campaign, conceding just 1.00 goal per road game.
- Arsenal sit 2nd in the Premier League 2026/2027 table with 15 points from 6 games, already looking like title-chasing heavyweights.
The Tricky Trees need a lift
Arsenal head to City Ground on Sunday, looking to continue their fine start to the Premier League 2026/2027 season when they come up against an out-of-sorts Nottingham Forest.
The Gunners have won four and lost one of their five league games so far, bouncing back from a 3-0 defeat away to Brighton & Hove Albion with a 2-1 home win over Leeds United.
The hosts come into this clash on a two-game losing streak after losing 1-0 at home to Coventry City before a 3-1 defeat away to Crystal Palace.
Game of styles
Nottingham Forest have been more pragmatic and transition-based under Oliver Glasner, who took charge on 6 July 2026, but his setup should enable them to be braver without the ball.
Mikel Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since 20 December 2019 and his side have been sharp as ever on the build-up and pressing when required.
This is a meeting of styles and it should see Arsenal control the ball and pin Forest back, with the hosts looking to counter-attack and press in bursts when they regain the ball.
Saka the key
The form of the teams heading into this match should be enough for the clear favourites Arsenal to edge a win, but Forest are winless in three at home in the Premier League 2026/2027, with two defeats and a draw.
They've also scored 0.00 goals per 90 mins at their home ground, so Arsenal, who are conceding 1.00 goals on the road, should have enough to edge this one.
A home grind could be on the cards for this game, so backing over 2.5 goals at 1.9 looks a solid angle here, while both teams to score at 1.95 appeals for a tight and competitive affair.
Betting the goals
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's chief threat in the Premier League 2026/2027 with three goals in five, while Morgan Gibbs-White is the main spark for Forest, who are yet to find the net in their three home games in 2026/2027.
That makes Dan Ndoye, who has scored just one in five in the league but has been Forest's best finisher in 2026/2027, their main threat, although Arsenal can take this one with a goal to spare.
