Arsenal head to Nottingham Forest this weekend aiming to prolong their Premier League title challenge for at least another 24 hours.
The Gunners have been overhauled by defending champions Manchester City in recent weeks, and Pep Guardiola’s side can retain their crown with a weekend win over Chelsea, regardless of Arsenal’s result in this fixture.
Mikel Arteta has demanded a positive reaction from his team following their 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, with hosts Forest not yet safe from potential Premier League relegation.
The Sporting News is following Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal live and providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen from the City Ground.

“Pain is part of football. There is a lot of moments to be extremely pleased with what we have done. Let’s see what we do in the next couple of games.
“Two games to go we can still be champions against the defending champions who are arguably best team in the Premier League in last few years.”

1 hour 45 mins to KO: The equation for Arsenal today is pretty simple: win, and their title hopes will be alive for at least another day; lose, and Manchester City will be champions before they even kick a ball this weekend. A draw will mean the Gunners can still mathematically catch the leaders, but it would leave City needing just one point from three games to be confirmed as champions.
