It is a must-win game for Arsenal if they are to keep their slender-hopes of a title challenge going until the last day of the season when they make the trip to the City Ground to face a Nottingham Forest side who need just a point to survive if results go their way. Mikel Arteta's side are looking for to bounce back form their surprise defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at home at the weekend as they look to improve on two wins in their last five league outings.
The Gunners go into this match the favourites at 8/13 with Betfred while Forest are 4/1 to produce another shock result at home and a draw is 10/3. Arsenal have a solid track record against their hosts in the league picking up seven wins and a draw in their last 10 league trips to the City Ground.
For Forest, the task is simple - win and they survive or draw and hope Leeds lose tomorrow against West Ham United. Steve Cooper has made sure the City Ground is no easy place to win with all but one of their wins this season coming from their home ground. They have picked up wins against Man United, Liverpool, Brighton, Southampton, Leeds and Leicester not to mention a huge point against Manchester City. Their record on the top six is impressive and should not be overlooked in this match.
