Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League score and updates as frustrated Gunners being held at City Ground – UK Times

54 mins: Arsenal are looking to push on now. Martin Odegaard is on set piece duties this time but Forest deal with the danger without too much trouble.

The Gunners recover possession though and quickly come at the hosts again.

51 mins: Declan Rice swings in a corner kick and there’s some trouble for Forest!

Save! Merino makes a late run and leaps onto the ball. He nods it at the goal but a sharp reflex save from Matz Sels palms the ball away.

48 mins: Forest have come out with a more positive focus in this half. They’re probing at Tierney’s side of the pitch but the Scot is a recognised left-back and is up to the task of repelling them.

Arsenal get the match back underway. Mikel Arteta has made at change at the break with Kieran Tierney replacing Riccardo Calafiori.

As things stand, Arsenal will remain second in the table but they’re at risk of falling further behind Liverpool.

They need to find a goal from somewhere to keep their title hopes alive.

45+1 mins: A fairly even first half comes to a close with no goals. Arsenal have had more possession and have threatened on a couple of occasions.

Forest have looked to use their wide men to get in behind. Sometimes it worked, more often it didn’t.

All to play for in the second half.

42 mins: That is gorgeous. A little spin inside the box from Ethan Nwaneri sees the teenager with a sight at goal.

He’s closed down quickly and can’t get the shot away but Arsenal do win a corner.

39 mins: Gibbs-White shakes off a challenge on the inside right and shoots from the edge of the box. The ball deflects off the nearest defender and softly floats into the arms of David Raya.

36 mins: Hudson-Odoi knows he’s get the beating of Calafiori. Any chance he gets he drives at the left-back and sweeps past him.

An early cross comes into the box but William Saliba handles it without too much trouble.
