Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Forest host Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday evening
- The Gunners have not won away from home in eight weeks
- Arsenal would move into second place with a victory
After a reduced schedule, the Premier League returns with a full midweek round of fixtures, beginning with Arsenal's trip to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening.
Nuno Espirito Santo made his utter disdain for FA Cup replays abundantly clear after his side were held by Blackpool in the third round. Forest defeated the League One outfit in the rearranged fixture only to draw with Bristol City in the fourth round on Friday night. "We have to play it," Nuno sighed.
Arsenal didn't make it beyond the third round, losing at home to Liverpool earlier this month, and have enjoyed more than a week's preparation for Tuesday's fixture after hammering five goals past Crystal Palace on 20 January.
Here's everything you need to know about the return of England's top flight.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal score prediction
Arsenal may be 13 places and 23 points better off than Forest in the Premier League table but the City Ground has not been a welcoming venue for the Gunners of late. The north London outfit have lost their last three matches on the banks of the River Trent. It was an away defeat to Forest last May that mathematically ended Arsenal's title ambitions - and secured safety for the hosts.
Since taking over from Steve Cooper in December, Nuno's surprisingly swashbuckling Forest have scored 14 goals and shipped 12 in seven games. If the Midlands outfit is going to remain quite so open, Arsenal have the well-rested players to take advantage - especially if they can break the deadlock early.
