Forest vs Arsenal team news…

Myles Lewis-Skelly will miss the clash due to suspension after he was shown a red card during Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham at the weekend. Ethan Nwaneri appeared to suffer a knock against the Hammers, but Arteta has since confirmed that the teenage midfielder was simply nursing some cramp.

Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are still out, while Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain out for the rest of the season. Forest don’t have many absentees, with only Carlos Miguel nursing an injury.

The backup goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury during a FA Cup win over Exeter City earlier this month. Taiwo Awoniyi, who has scored all three of Forest’s goals against Arsenal in the Premier League since their return to the English top-flight, returned to the bench at the weekend after suffering a broken nose.
