Nottingham Forest, now under manager Vítor Pereira, are rebuilding after a turbulent 2025/26 campaign in which the club used four head coaches before securing Premier League survival. Forest played European football in 2025/26 for the first time in 30 years, following their remarkable seventh-place finish in 2024/25 - their highest since 1999 - when Chris Wood's 20-goal season fired the Tricky Trees into the Europa League. Pereira's task is to bring stability back to a squad that still contains quality, including captain Morgan Gibbs-White and impressive Brazilian defender Murillo.
Arsenal, under manager Mikel Arteta, arrive as reigning Premier League champions. The Gunners ended a 20-year wait by winning the 2025/26 title - their 14th English league championship and first since the 2003-04 "Invincibles" season - after three consecutive second-place finishes. Heavy summer-2025 investment, including the arrivals of Viktor Gyökeres (wearing the iconic number 14 shirt once worn by Thierry Henry), Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze, helped turn near-misses into glory. With talent including Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, Declan Rice and William Saliba, Arsenal go into 2026-2027 as the team to beat.

Historical context
Nottingham Forest's remarkable legacy: Nottingham Forest Football Club, founded in 1865, is one of the oldest league clubs in the world and one of English football's most storied institutions. The club's greatest era came under Brian Clough, winning the First Division title in 1978 and then remarkably claiming back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980 - a feat never matched by any other English club. Forest also won four League Cups during this golden period. After years in the lower divisions, Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 and qualified for European football in 2024/25 for the first time in 30 years.
Arsenal's return to glory: Arsenal Football Club, founded in 1886, rank among the most successful clubs in English football history, and the 2025/26 Premier League title took them to 14 league championships. That triumph, under Mikel Arteta, ended a wait stretching back to the legendary "Invincibles" season of 2003-04 under Arsène Wenger, when Arsenal went unbeaten throughout the campaign. Arteta, in charge since December 2019, rebuilt the Gunners from three consecutive runners-up finishes into champions.
The modern context: This fixture brings together two clubs whose paths have converged in recent years. Forest's rise from the Championship to European qualification is one of English football's great recent stories, while Arsenal have reached the summit as Premier League champions. Both clubs favour attacking football, ensuring entertaining encounters when they meet - though Forest have shown they can frustrate even the very best at the City Ground.
Venue: City Ground
Historic venue on the banks of the Trent
The City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's home since 1898 and stands as one of English football's most atmospheric and historic venues. Located on the banks of the River Trent in West Bridgford, the stadium has a current capacity of 30,455 and witnessed two European Cup triumphs during the Brian Clough era. The venue hosted matches during Euro 96 and remains one of the Premier League's most characterful grounds.
The stadium's proximity to Meadow Lane, home of neighbours Notts County, makes these the two closest professional football stadiums in England - just 300 yards apart but separated by the River Trent. The City Ground's picturesque riverside setting creates a unique matchday experience, with the Brian Clough Stand dominating the skyline as a tribute to Forest's greatest manager.
Expansion plans
Nottingham Forest have ambitious plans to expand the City Ground. In June 2025, Rushcliffe Borough Council approved plans to demolish the Peter Taylor Stand and replace it with a new 10,000-seater structure. The overall project aims to increase capacity to 45,000 by 2031, with potential for further growth to 52,500 by 2033. Owner Evangelos Marinakis has stated his ambition for the City Ground to become "one of the best stadiums in England."
Atmosphere and matchday experience
Forest supporters are renowned for creating one of the most atmospheric environments in English football, with the Trent End generating particularly impressive noise. The club's return to the top flight and European qualification have reinvigorated the fanbase, with the City Ground consistently selling out for Premier League fixtures. The intimate nature of the ground, combined with Forest's passionate support, creates a challenging environment for visiting teams.
Getting to the City Ground
By train
Nottingham Railway Station is the nearest mainline station, located approximately 1 mile (20 minutes' walk) from the City Ground. Regular services operate from London St Pancras (approximately 1 hour 40 minutes), Birmingham New Street, Sheffield and other major cities. From the station, fans can walk along the River Trent or take a bus or taxi to the ground.
By bus
Numerous bus routes pass the City Ground from Nottingham city centre, including lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 22 and 90. The journey takes less than 10 minutes from the city centre. Skylink buses also connect the stadium with East Midlands Airport (approximately 35 minutes).
By car
From the M1, leave at Junction 24 and follow signs to Nottingham City Centre via the A453. The City Ground is located in West Bridgford, south of the River Trent. Parking is available at the ground for £5, though spaces are limited. Street parking is possible if arriving early, and the Victoria Embankment car park near the cricket ground offers additional options at £3. Due to matchday congestion, public transport is recommended.
Tactical preview
Nottingham Forest's resilient approach
Under Vítor Pereira, Forest are expected to prioritise organisation, defensive discipline and set-piece strength, looking to frustrate opponents and threaten on the counter-attack - exactly the approach that has so often troubled Arsenal at the City Ground. With pace in wide areas and aerial threat up front, Forest can punish any lapse in concentration.
Arsenal's champions' blueprint
Mikel Arteta has built Arsenal into one of Europe's most organised and dangerous teams. The Gunners typically deploy a fluid 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, with Declan Rice taking advanced positions while Martin Zubimendi anchors midfield. Arsenal's set-piece excellence has been a major weapon. Against Forest's defensive organisation, the champions will need patience and quality to break down the hosts.
