Nottingham Forest will face Arsenal at the City Ground this evening as they aim to end a tough stretch and move away from the Premier League relegation zone.
Sean Dyche’s team has been through a challenging period, including an unexpected penalty shootout loss to Wrexham in the FA Cup. However, a recent league win against West Ham has kept them seven points above the bottom three. Nottingham Forest has had a rough time at home this season, suffering six defeats at the City Ground so far, but they have remained unbeaten in their last two home matches against Arsenal.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Sean Dyche oversees a squad strengthened by the return of international players, but some have recently undergone surgeries. Willy Boly and Ibrahim Sangaré are back from AFCON and may play, pending fitness tests. The team is without top scorer Chris Wood and John Victor, both recovering from knee surgeries.
As a result, Igor Jesus is set to lead the attack, following the loan of Arnaud Kalimuendo. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also unavailable due to loan restrictions. Matz Sels will remain in goal, and captain Ryan Yates will undergo a fitness test for a hamstring issue. Morgan Gibbs-White is expected to play a key creative role, supported by Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Milenković, Murillo, Williams; Anderson, DomÃnguez; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Jesus
