Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/17/26

Nottingham Forest played out a 6-goal thriller before being eliminated by Championship team Wrexham on penalties in last weekend’s FA Cup 3rd round, and the Tricky Trees could contribute to another high-scoring game against Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday. The hosts have lost 4 of their last 5 EPL games, only taking points against relegation-threatened West Ham, and they come up against a Gunners club that has won 4 of their last 5 head-to-head encounters.

Mikel Arteta’s team was also involved in a high-scoring clash in their last match as they beat Chelsea 3-2 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinals, following a 4-1 thrashing of Portsmouth to continue their quest for silverware on 4 fronts. Arsenal have won 8 of their last 10 games and each of their last 5 road matches, and they are good value for the points at the City Ground, but their defensive solidity has disappeared in recent times and they may be vulnerable to a Forest goal. They have conceded in 6 of their last 7  games and Nottingham Forest have scored in 4 of their last 5 matches, making Arsenal to win and both teams to score an appealing option.
