The read
The deskNottingham Forest have won nothing at home in their last five and go into this missing both first-choice centre-backs, while Arsenal arrive on a four-from-five away run with the head-to-head lopsided in their favour. Expect goals and an Arsenal performance that controls the game even with their own injury list biting.

The research
ProForest have avoided defeat in only 4 of the last 10 h2h meetings (2 wins, 2 draws) and their home form is L D L L D, no win and just two draws in five; losing both centre-backs, Milenkovic and Igor Jesus, plus a doubtful Neco Williams, weakens the back line further against an Arsenal side that has won four of its last five away.
“Forest's leaky home form and missing centre-backs hand Arsenal's away run the platform to win”

The singles we'd pick ourselves, with the research and the price behind each one
- The daily singles. Each one cleared three checks: the line landed in at least 9 of the two sides' last 12 games, a UK price of 1.35 or more, and our model's number clears what the price needs. Usually 0 to 5 a day, one unit each.
- The case for each, put together. The last 12 against what the price needs, who is missing, the head to head, and the best price at a UK bookmaker, in one place.
- The desk's card on every fixture it covers. Its verdict, every market graded, and the reason written down. And tomorrow's singles the night before.
