Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest | Premier League | Gameweek 12
It should be an exciting fight between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. This season, both teams have been in excellent form, and they are only separated by goal differential, currently sitting fourth and fifth, respectively. The top-four race may be significantly impacted by this game because both teams have identical records of five wins, four draws, and two losses.
The Gunners are currently nine points behind leaders Liverpool and have had a frustrating season after coming so close to defeating Manchester City for the top prize the previous time out.
Before the break, Mikel Arteta's team was held to a 1-1 draw with Cheslea, prolonging their winless run to four League games. They haven't won a League game since early October.
Even though the season is still early, it's unlikely that the Gunners can afford many more mistakes. Any dropped points could be disastrous come May because of the high standards that City and Liverpool have set over the years.
Despite losing to Newcastle prior to the break, Saturday's opponents in Forest have performed admirably throughout the season. Only Liverpool has won more points away from home so far, and they are undefeated on the road.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Team News
Arsenal Team News
Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice both withdrew from the England squad, and Leandro Trossard injured himself while playing for Belgium, despite Arsenal manager Arteta's insistence that he would be "praying" for his team to emerge from the international break completelyunharmed.
Rice and Saka shouldn't be in danger of missing Saturday's game, but Trossard's availability is uncertain; Kieran Tierney (thigh), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Riccardo Calafiori (knee) are all in the same situation, but the latter has finally resumed full training.
Due to surgery, the Gunners will also be without Ben White until the new year. As a result, Jurrien Timber should return to his preferred right-back position, allowing Oleksandr Zinchenko to fill in at left-back if Calafiori is not selected.
Nottingham Forest Team News
On the other hand, since Santo only has Ibrahim Sangare (thigh) and Danilo (ankle), two long-term absentees, to worry about, and the latter may even return this month, Nottingham Forest's fitness situation is as it was.
After their trips to the other side of the world for World Cup qualifiers, assessments may need to be done on Murillo and Chris Wood, an eight-goal striker. Wood, however, did not play any minutes during his first Brazil call-up and should be able to start at the Emirates.
If necessary, Taiwo Awoniyi could be a capable replacement for Wood, but Santo will make every effort to keep the player who has contributed more than half of Forest's Premier League goals this season.
