Nottingham Forest and Arsenal name XIs for Premier League clash | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest and Arsenal lock horns today in a crucial Premier League tie with Champions League implications as both sides look to finish out the 2024/25 season strong.

The pair come into today's meeting on the back of losses to Newcastle and West Ham respectively, but Mikel Arteta's Gunners still hold a six-point lead over Nuno Espírito Santo's outfit.

Can Forest close the gap once again or can Arsenal edge ever closer to guaranteeing a third successive second-place finish?

Here is how the two sides will be deployed at the City Ground.

Forest can call on their preferred XI tonight, with Chris Wood and company looking to get one over on the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta makes just one change from the XI that suffered defeat against West Ham, with Jorginho replacing Thomas Partey, while Mikel Merino starts up front again.
