Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest live stream and match preview

Looking for an Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.

Sunday's early Premier League kick-off sees Arsenal and Nottingham Forest meet in the league for the first time in 23 years.

Victory for Arsenal will take them top once again – and victory is all the Emirates Stadium crowd has seen this season: the Gunners are on a 10-match winning streak at home in all competitions, including seven wins from seven in 2022/23. Mikel Arteta's side were uncharacteristically sloppy as they drew 1-1 at Southampton last Sunday, before a much-rotated team lost 2-0 at PSV in the Europa League on Thursday, but there's no reason to feel that the Gunners have run out of ammunition – and it goes without saying that they enter this encounter as firm favourites.

Forest, however, are surely still on a high after their memorable 1-0 home win over Liverpool last time out. The result provided a much-needed boost for Steve Cooper's men – who hadn't tasted victory since the second weekend of the campaign – and lifted them off the bottom of the table (although yesterday's results mean they now find themselves back there). That said, the Reds' away record since returning to the top flight makes for rather sobering reading: they've taken two points from a possible 12, conceded 14 goals and scored just one themselves.

Team news

For the fourth successive league match, Arteta is able to name an unchanged Arsenal side.

As for Forest, there's just the one change as Renan Lodi replaces Neco Williams at left-back.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
