Match preview

Our model makes Arsenal clear favourites, giving them a 54% chance of winning against 28% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.85 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.1 goals in total (0.68 for Nottingham Forest, 1.39 for Arsenal), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Nottingham Forest sit 19th on 6 points; Arsenal are 1st on 24.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
