THE TEAM NEWS
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that striker Taiwo Awoniyi has returned to some part of first-team training earlier than was expected. He has been joined by both Felipe and Anthony Elanga but none of them are described as being ‘100%’ just yet.
They remain hit by players being away at the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ola Aina, Serge Aurier, Willy Boly, Cheikhou Kouyate, Ibrahim Sangare and Moussa Niakhate all set to be unavailable due to their involvement in that competition.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Turner; Montiel, Omobamidele, Murillo, Toffolo; Mangala, Danilo; Dominguez, Yates, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
UNAVAILABLE: Origi (Injured), Tavares (Ineligible), Aina (International duty), Aurier (International duty), Boly (International duty), Kouyate (International duty), Sangare (International duty), Niakhate (International duty)
QUESTIONABLE: Felipe (Injured), Awoniyi (Injured), Elanga (Injured)
ARSENAL
Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he has ‘some late decisions to make’ with the likes of Gabriel and Declan Rice supposedly doubtful for this week after they were forced off with injuries in Arsenal’s 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace about ten days ago.
The Gunners will continue to be without midfielder Thomas Partey for this weekend, whilst the likes of Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny remain on international duty. Jurrien Timber and Fabio Vieira are still out injured, too.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
UNAVAILABLE: Timber (Injured), Partey (Injured), Vieira (Injured), Elneny (International duty), Tomiyasu (International duty)
QUESTIONABLE: Gabriel (Injured), Rice (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Nuno Espirito Santo has suggested that his Nottingham Forest sharing a goalless draw with Bristol City was a major step as they aim to be a lot tighter at the back. As a result of that, they are expected to play a reactive style of football as they welcome an Arsenal side looking for some consistency to the City Ground. The Gunners will be looking to avoid any chaos in this game as they simply look to grind out results and string victories together so a low-scoring win in favour of the away team would appear the way to go for this one.
TIP: ARSENAL TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS
