Haven't we lost our last 3 games up there? Take the draw and get out of town

Our last League win there was in January 1999. Ron Atkinson was their manager. Keown got the goal.

Seriously ??? Sweet jesus that is woeful

They’ve been down a division for all of that time mind apart from last season

The 2 - Nil defeat at theirs last season was the turd on top of the smelly cake of our Crash & Burn out of any challenge last season. So we owe them a right good seeing to at the very least.

He reminds me so much of Abu Diaby.

[TeeCee]

Quite a few missing this game for us. Not looking great to be honest...... Looks like our usual struggle up there

Have no fear, Kai is here

[OneBardGooner]

Yup and he will be £600k better off since we last saw him on the pitch... I was going to say "Play" but that might be stretching it a bit...

TEAM NEWS

Nottingham Forest trio Taiwo Awoniyi, Anthony Elanga and Felipe are back in training but this game could come too soon for them to feature.

Several players are at the Africa Cup of Nations, while loanee Nuno Tavares is ineligible against his parent club.

Arsenal's Declan Rice could return from the tight hamstring that prompted his substitution against Crystal Palace.

Gabriel, who came off in the same game, will also be assessed but Thomas Partey remains out with injury.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Nottingham Forest are looking for a fourth consecutive home win over Arsenal in all competitions.
Arsenal's last win at Forest was in the Premier League in January 1999 when Martin Keown's goal gave them a 1-0 victory.
However, the Gunners have won five of the past six top-flight meetings.

Nottingham Forest

This is Nottingham Forest's first Premier League game at the City Ground since they beat Manchester United to end a run of four straight home defeats.
Forest's two most recent league wins have come against sides that finished in last season's top four, beating Newcastle 3-1 and Manchester United 2-1.
They can lose their opening two league matches of a calendar year for the first time since 2004 in the Championship.
Forest have dropped 46 points from winning positions since their return to the Premier League last season, 11 more than any other side.
Their most common league result this season is a 3-2 defeat, which has happened five times.
Chris Wood, who has scored five goals in his last four Premier League appearances, could score his 150th in English league football.


Arsenal

Arsenal have gone three Premier League away matches without a victory, while their only two wins in the last seven on the road both came courtesy of late goals (D2, L3).
The Gunners have kept eight clean sheets in this season's Premier League, a joint-high in the division along with Liverpool.
They have scored 13 goals from set-pieces (excluding penalties), 10 from corners and 10 headed goals, all more than any other club this season.
Arsenal could win their opening two league fixtures of a calendar year for the first time since starting 2014 with three straight victories.
Bukayo Saka has scored just once and provided no assists in his last seven Arsenal appearances in all competitions.


Doesn't exactly make good reading.

Everything about the above points towards more dropped points tonight I can see it going roughly the same as our recent turdholings up there Blunt in attack..slack and error strewn at the back with a panicky goalie and left back anywhere bar where he should be..Well get stiffened again tonight I have no doubt and Chris Wood will probably net his 150th goal in English football who better to.get it against than gift horse Arsenal 2-0 Forest.
