'Arsenal’s Midfield Will Dominate Forest – They Have No Mistakes Left' — Paul Merson says this two particular Arsenal star's Must be played Against Nottingham Forest

This Saturday, Arsenal will play Nottingham Forest in their first Premier League match after November’s international break. For Arsenal, this is more than just another game — it’s a chance to bounce back after a tough period.

Arsenal hasn’t won in their last four league games, which has put them nine points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. This poor form means they need a win to stay in the race for the title.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, has had a great season. They’re currently fifth in the table, on the same points as Arsenal. Forest is known for being hard to beat, as they’ve spent the least amount of time trailing in games this season.

Football expert Paul Merson believes Arsenal will win this match. He says Arsenal’s midfield, led by players like Martin Ødegaard and Thomas Partey, is much stronger than Forest’s. He added that Forest’s good start to the season may be slowing down after their recent loss to Newcastle.

“It’s a tricky game,” Merson said, “but Arsenal can’t afford to make more mistakes. They need to win.”

Injuries have been a big problem for Arsenal this season, and a few players will still miss the game:

Kieran Tierney isn’t fully fit yet, even though he’s back in training.

The good news is that key players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Leandro Trossard are expected to return.

Arsenal needs to win to get back on track. Playing at home is an advantage, and with their midfield looking strong, this is a chance to end their winless streak.

Arsenal fans will be hoping for a big performance to reignite their season and keep their title hopes alive.
