Arsenal are currently six points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa at the top of the Premier League points table, courtesy of their latest top flight draw against Liverpool that extended the Gunners’ unbeaten streak in all competitions to 10 games.
Coupled with the fact that Mikel Arteta’s men have managed to register victories in both the first leg of their EFL Cup semi final tie against Chelsea, and their third round fixture of the FA Cup against Portsmouth, fans of the London club will definitely be hoping for nothing short of a victory on Saturday.
The away record of theGunners is alo impressive, with Arsena currently on a five game winning run while playing on the road.
Nottingham Forest were knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Wrexham after a penalty shootout.
This was the fifth loss for the Tricky Trees out of their last six games in all competitions, increasing the pressure on new manager Sean Dyche.
The loss followed a highly important victory for against West Ham United. The win saw Nottingham Forest increase their distance from the relegation basement to seven points.
However, a statistic that will be highly dampening for the moods of the City Ground faithful will be the home record of their team.
