Before the start of the new Premier League season, London Arsenal were considered the second favourite to win. The reigning champions were obviously the main rivals. Under such circumstances, the crisis in Manchester City, observed in recent weeks, should seem like manna from heaven for the Gunners. However, there are two obstacles to Arsenal's jubilation. Firstly, Arteta's men are not as determined as they were last season. Secondly, Liverpool, who were considered by bookmakers before the start of the championship as a minor title contender, are achieving stable results. Each upcoming game for Arsenal, nine points behind the leaders, is now more important than the previous one. On Saturday, the London team will meet Nottingham Forest, who sensationally occupy a place in the top-5 of the division. It is the "Foresters" are the only team that managed to beat Liverpool this season. Moreover, they achieved victory at the impregnable Anfield. Bookmakers have identified the home team as the favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.37 on their victory.

Arsenal quite confidently started in the championship of England, but very soon showed their current game "ceiling". The North London derby with Tottenham and the Champions League meeting against PSG were the only meetings of the Canaries since the start of the football year, in which they managed to defeat strong opponents. With Atalanta, Liverpool, Brighton, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arteta's wards have drawn the "world", and lost to Inter, Newcastle and Bournemouth. An important advantage of Arsenal over their rivals is the fact that they played against the strongest clubs in the division during the first eleven rounds.

Nottingham Forest demonstrates a decent level of play. The Foresters have a successful defence, instilled since last season by Portuguese specialist Nuno Santo. At the same time, Nottingham Forest are quite stable in attacking actions. In twelve official meetings of the current football year "Foresters" failed to score only once. We bet that the match will bring at least three goals.
