Arsenal host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend, aiming to end a four-game winless run.
Mikel Arteta has seen his side’s title challenge stumble after four games without a win, a run that has seen Arsenal drop to fourth in the table.
This weekend’s opponents have been the surprise package of the season so far and sit fifth, behind the Gunners on goal difference. Having been backed to be involved in the relegation battle, high-flying Forest have had a superb start under Nuno Espirito Santo. Forest have the second-best defensive record in the division this season, behind leaders Liverpool.
The clash could hinge on set-pieces. The teams ranked joint-second (Arsenal) and joint-first (Nottingham Forest) for set-piece goals scored in 2024/25.
