Por que apostar no Arsenal?

Based on their squad and recent performances, Arsenal is seen as the top contender to end Manchester City’s dominance. However, reality shows the Gunners slipping further away from the title race, now seemingly a battle between Liverpool and the reigning champions.

In their last match, the Gunners dropped points again with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. Gabriel Martinelli scored for Mikel Arteta’s side, while Pedro Neto found the net for the opposition.

This result left Arsenal in fourth place with 19 points, level with Chelsea but a significant nine points behind Liverpool, who currently lead the Premier League.

Arsenal’s form has been concerning, with four consecutive league games without a win. Adding to their struggles was a Champions League loss to Inter Milan. The Gunners need a swift turnaround to ensure the Premier League remains a three-horse race, as in recent seasons.

Even at home, the Londoners have not been entirely convincing, earning 11 out of 15 possible points. They remain unbeaten but have drawn twice at the Emirates.

Key injuries continue to hamper the squad, including defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu, midfielder Declan Rice, and forward Leandro Trossard.

Why bet on Nottingham Forest?

Nottingham Forest is enjoying a fantastic season, far removed from relegation battles, and on track to qualify for European competitions next year, sparking hope among their long-suffering fans.

This defeat dropped Forest to fifth place with 19 points, level with Arsenal and Chelsea. A win at the Emirates could propel them into third, a remarkable position for a team accustomed to fighting for Premier League survival since its promotion.

Under Nuno Espírito Santo, the Tricky Trees have been impressive on the road, earning 11 points from five matches through three wins and two draws.

New Zealand forward Chris Wood has been outstanding, contributing eight goals this season.

Midfielders Danilo and Ibrahim Sangaré are the only injured players for Forest heading into this crucial fixture.
