Arsenal F.C. vs Nottingham Forest F.C. Prediction 13 September 2025

The Gunners, last season’s vice-champions, currently sit third in the table with six points and a strong goal difference of 6:1. Mikel Arteta’s side impressed with a 5:0 demolition of Leeds and a hard-fought 1:0 win over Manchester United, though they stumbled just before the break with a narrow 0:1 loss to Liverpool.

Nottingham have made a respectable start, picking up four points from three matches. They stunned Brentford 3:1, battled to a 1:1 draw with Crystal Palace, but were outclassed 0:3 by West Ham. Sitting in mid-table (10th place) and preparing for a Europa League campaign, Forest will look for consistency under their new head coach.

Arsenal enter as clear favourites — their home record against mid-table sides is solid, and their attacking depth makes them difficult to contain. Nottingham’s defense, still adjusting to new leadership, may struggle to cope with the pace and movement of Arsenal’s front line.
