Arsenal Look to Maintain Form Against Forest

Arsenal sit second in the table after four wins in their last five games while Nottingham Forest have collected just one victory in the same span and sit 15th. Forest have scored 0.8 goals a game overall and none at home this season. Arsenal average 2.2 goals scored per game and have kept three clean sheets in six outings. In the last ten head-to-head meetings Arsenal have won six. Forest have managed three or more total goals in only three of their six league games so far. Arsenal have recorded three or more total goals in four of their six matches. The game may hinge on whether Forest can create chances at home without their usual scoring threat.
