Nottingham Forest VS Arsenal

Fixtures, lineups and Stats

VS

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest gives Arsenal the larger Premier League platform, while Forest’s resistance can overturn the expected script. Arsenal won 5–0 at the Emirates in October 2022, but Forest answered 1–0 at the City Ground in May 2023. A 0–0 draw in February 2025 added another narrow outcome; a future meeting will ask whether Arsenal create separation or Forest make the margin decisive.

Stats for this game

Matchup Arsenal VS Nottingham Forest

Arsenal set the larger reference

Arsenal’s 5–0 home win in October 2022 is the clearest expression of the status gap. The Gunners turned control into a wide scoreline, a result that explains why they enter this matchup with the greater burden of expectation. Yet a large home margin does not settle the fixture’s character, because Forest have shown how differently the contest can look at the City Ground.

Forest can make the setting decisive

Forest’s 1–0 home win in May 2023 supplied a sharp counterexample, with Taiwo Awoniyi’s goal enough to defeat Arsenal and secure the hosts’ top-flight place. The 0–0 draw in February 2025 added a quieter version of the same resistance, as Forest held Arsenal without a winner. These fixed results give a new meeting a durable question: can Arsenal turn their platform into a result away from home, or will Forest again make patience and one moment carry equal weight?
