PREMIER LEAGUE Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: Preview, team news, when and where to watch as the Gunners hope to keep their slim title hopes alive

Mikel Arteta’s men must win at the City Ground to have any real chance of capitalising on any slip ups from leaders Manchester City

Only a win at Nottingham Forest will do for Arsenal on Saturday if they want to keep their faintest Premier League title hopes alive.

The Gunners know a win for Manchester City on Sunday would seal the deal but must do their jobs at the City Ground at least.

Given the manner of their 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion last week, it would be a real shame to end such a promising campaign in a defeat to a Forest team battling relegation.

Steve Cooper’s side got a creditable draw away at Chelsea last week and are scrapping for their lives.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal is scheduled for 7.30pm kick-off Kenyan time at the City Ground in Nottingham on Saturday.

Gabriel Martinelli is out for the season after suffering an injury against Brighton, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and William Saliba are also unavailable.

Mikel Arteta has hinted at changes following the loss last week, meaning the likes of Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Viera and Leandro Trossard are in contention to start.
