How the teams line up
Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Arsenal
One of the league's best sides. Arsenal should have most of the ball in front of their own fans at Emirates Stadium, so the question is whether Forest can stay compact for 90 minutes.
Away
Nottingham Forest
Forest are tough to score against on the road at Emirates Stadium, though they don't create a great deal themselves.
Match preview
Nottingham Forest visit Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the 2026/27 Premier League. We project 2.18 expected goals for Arsenal against 0.78 for Forest, and that gap drives our 69% rating for Arsenal. Line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off. A missing key player can change this more than any other factor, so wait for them.
