Nottingham Forest lost 0-1 to Arsenal at the City Ground on Sunday, a result that extends their winless run to three games and keeps them 19th on 5 points from 7. The home record is bleak, with no wins in four and only one point from those games. Our main pick for the game, Arsenal to win, landed.
The numbers underneath the table are not kind to Forest either, with an expected 11.4 points against the 5 they have, which says the chances are being missed. At home they have failed to score in three of the four games, which is a major part of the problem. The away side of the ledger reads better, with a win and a draw in three games, but it is the home form that needs to turn around if they are to climb the table.

What's coming up
Updated Mon 19 Oct 2026, 22:52
Nottingham Forest's next five start with a trip to Ipswich on Fri 23 Oct, followed by away games at Brentford and Bournemouth, with home matches against Manchester City and Chelsea. Three of the five fixtures are away from home, where Forest have picked up 4 points from 3 games. The run includes games against five sides above them in the table, so it will be a tough test.
