Nottingham Forest will have to work hard to prove their doubters wrong after Paul Merson shared his prediction for the club’s trip to Arsenal.
The Gunners currently sit two points clear at the top of the table after being held to a draw by Southampton last time out. Mikel Arteta’s side were also handed a defeat by PSV in the Europa League on Thursday night but have won nine of their opening 11 league games.
Forest recorded a surprise win over Liverpool last weekend, much to the delight of the crowd at the City Ground, to leave themselves two points away from safety. However, despite overcoming the odds against Jurgen Klopp’s team, ex-Arsenal midfielder Merson is expecting a straightforward win for his former side.
