⭐ Arsenal v Nottingham Forest Best Bets
Martin Odegaard made a welcome return to the starting XI for Arsenal against Chelsea before the international break. Not only did the Gunners captain complete 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, but he also provided an assist.
The Norwegian ace was also fouled once against Chelsea and a repeat looks worth siding with on Saturday. Odegaard has been fouled exactly once in each of his four appearances for Arsenal in the Premier League this season.

🔍 Arsenal v Nottingham Forest Players to Watch
🔴 Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka stands out to either score or to provide an assist at 1.83. The Arsenal talisman has registered 10 goal involvements across his 10 Premier League appearances for Arsenal this season. It’s also worth noting that Saka has either scored or set up a goal in four of his five top-flight outings at the Emirates this term. He also struck in Arsenal’s 2-0 home win over PSG in the Champions League.
🔵 Alex Moreno
Alex Moreno merits support to commit two or more fouls on Saturday afternoon at 2.75. The Nottingham Forest left-back will likely be tasked with trying to keep Arsenal foul magnet Bukayo Saka quiet. Moreno has committed multiple fouls in four of his eight Premier League appearances this season, including three of his last four. The aforementioned Saka has drawn two or more fouls from the opposition in his last five top-flight outings.

💻 Arsenal v Nottingham Forest Form and Tactics
Arsenal are wobbling in their pursuit of the Premier League title. Mikel Arteta’s men have collected just two points from the last 12 on offer.
The defensive solidity that served Arsenal well during the opening month of the season has deserted them of late. The Gunners have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last seven top-flight matches.
Last time out, Arsenal shared the points with Chelsea in a 1-1 draw. The underlying data suggests that a stalemate was a fair result. Arsenal produced an xG output of 1.55, while Chelsea posted an xG tally of 1.54. The two London rivals also registered three shots on target apiece, though Chelsea won the overall shot count 17-13.
Arsenal have committed 138 fouls across their opening 11 league games of the season, a return that ranks them fourth in the division for free-kicks given away this term.
Nottingham Forest suffered just their second Premier League defeat of the season against Newcastle a fortnight ago. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side struggled in front of goal against the Magpies. They created just 0.63 xG in that game, with only three of their nine efforts at goal hitting the target. That can perhaps be attributed to Nottingham Forest being the second-lowest scoring side that are currently housed in the top-half of the table.
No team has collected more yellow cards away from home than Nottingham Forest (20) in the Premier League this season. Furthermore, Forest are one of just five teams that have collected multiple red cards in the top-flight this term.
However, the Tricky Trees also have a knack for drawing cards from their opponents. In fact, Forest have drawn a league-high 40 yellow cards from their foes across their opening 11 Premier League games of the season.
