Mikel Arteta’s side are still chasing Liverpool in the title race, though hope is fading fast after the weekend’s 1-0 loss to West Ham left them 11 points adrift.
While Forest’s title charge failed to materialise, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are chasing Champions League football next season, and they hold a three-point advantage over fourth-placed Manchester City.
Tonight they come up against a side who have been the league’s surprise package so far, with Nottingham Forest currently sitting six points behind Arsenal in third.
And a win today could potentially be vital come the end of the season, with Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Aston Villa all chasing a spot in the top four too.
Nottingham Forest take on Arsenal in the Premier League tonight as second takes on third in the top flight.
