Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest Picks

Arsenal is yet to reach their full potential this season but game by game they seem to be making strides. Nottingham Forest have been up and down as they approach a European season yet still remain a threat to every team.

With that being said, should Arsenal perform as they did in a 5-0 win over Leeds United then Forest will be put to the sword. The firepower is just too much so I have them winning this game.

Other markets include Noni Madueke to have two or more shots on target, Viktor Gyokeres and Chris Wood to score and Mats Sels to make two or more saves.
