Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more

Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Arsenal in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

Arsenal must beat Forest to go within two points of Premier League leaders Manchester City and keep their faint hope of lifting the title alive. A loss will officially end their hopes of winning the league for the first time since 2004, with a draw giving them an almost impossible challenge due to their vastly inferior goal difference. The Gunners had played an extra fixture than Pep Guardiola's men after beating Leeds United at the start of April, but they were still eight points clear of their title rivals. However, just two wins in their last seven games have dented a stealer season for Arsenal, most recently succumbing to a 3-0 loss at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Forest have boosted their chance of avoiding relegation after a good run of form. Steve Cooper’s men moved out of the drop zone after losing just one of their last four games, beating Brighton and Hove Albion and Southampton before collecting a point against Chelsea. They are now three points ahead of 18th-placed Leeds United and will guarantee their survival in the top-flight if they better the result of the Whites, who face West Ham United, and at least match the number of points that 19th-placed Leicester City gain against Newcastle United. Forest have won seven, drawn six and lost five of their 18 matches at the City Ground.
