Nottingham Forest VS Arsenal

Nottingham Forest currently rank 13th in the Premier League, registering just 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses in their past 10 matches. They suffered a narrow defeat in their last round of play, and are in urgent need of points at home to stabilize their recent situation. The side adopts a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Igor Jesus, Milenkovic and Savona ruled out due to injuries. Gibbs-White's availability remains uncertain. Sels will start as the goalkeeper, with Aina, Diomande and Murillo making up the backline, Schlager and McCarty holding down the midfield, and Delap and Ndoye leading the attacking charge to break through the opponent's defense. The hosts crank up the physical intensity significantly on home turf, thriving on physical duels and set-piece attacks, with Delap playing a prominent role as the target man up front. However, their midfield lacks the ability to progress play with the ball, which limits their consistency in creating quality goalscoring chances.
