Declan Rice has to be doing better there.

Someone with his quality should be hitting the target.

Big chance!

Jurrien Timber's run is found by Martin Odegaard and he picks out Declan Rice in the box, who sweeps his effort over the bar.

Delap has a put a lot of work in and I think he will be a success here at Forest.

He is wholehearted and he is doing ever so well.

As things stand, Arsenal are five points behind Manchester City.

There are 20 minutes for that to change.

The delivery was outstanding from Declan Rice but it was a difficult header for Gabriel.

Forest have defended outstandingly so far.

Xaver Schlager plays it forward quickly to Liam Delap. Ever the willing runner, he goes at the Arsenal defence but doesn't get enough on his strike.

Feels like every Neco Williams corner has landed in the hands of David Raya here.

It's awkward for Jurrien Timber in his own box but he does enough to head it behind.

Arsenal have been lacklustre and they haven't really tested Sels - it's not been good enough.

People were critical of them last season when they were playing like this and I think they've changed this season, but they've reverted back.

Better from Declan Rice from the corner but Gabriel can't keep his header down.

That's a decent chance for him.

Here come the Arsenal changes as Jurrien Timber, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino replace Kai Havertz, Bruno Guimaraes and Ben White.

Declan Rice's delivery hasn't been up to its usual standard here and Forest clear again.

He'll have another chance now, though.

The 64th minute marked eight hours without a goal for the hosts at the City Ground in all competitions.

Their last goal came in the final game of last season when Morgan Gibbs-White struck against Bournemouth.

They have netted just eight times in the top flight at home in 2026 and four of them came against Burnley in April.

Arsenal just aren't moving the ball fast enough to stretch Forest. It's been too easy to defend against.

But they do have another chance from a corner now.

Forest win the ball and set Dan Ndoye on his way. He's up against Gabriel in the box but drives his effort off the Arsenal defender's legs.

And Matz Sels comes to punch the ball clear.

It's just not happening for either side at the moment.

Noni Madueke wins another corner for Arsenal.

Something is brewing for Forest.

I think they feel they've weathered everything Arsenal have throw at them and they've just said 'OK, let us be positive and go forward and cause them problems'.
