Arsenal and Nottingham Forest meet in a Premier League clash at the City Ground, and fans across multiple continents will be able to watch live as both sides aim for vital points after the winter break.
Arsenal travel to Nottingham with momentum after a strong run in domestic competitions and a recent cup triumph, while Forest will be looking to upset the league leaders at home.
The match holds major Premier League significance as both teams pursue different objectives this season.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of this fixture, including kick-off time, how to watch, and the latest confirmed team news.
Match details, kick-off time and how to watch
Forest host Arsenal in the Premier League at the City Ground on Saturday, January 17. The fixture is scheduled to kick off at 5.30 pm GMT.
In the UK, live television coverage will be available on TNT Sports 1, with build-up and pre-match shows beginning around 4.30 pm ahead of kick-off.
Sky Sports and discovery+ are also likely to offer mainstream broadcast and streaming options depending on your location.
Supporters outside of the UK should check local listings for coverage in their region. Broadcasters like NBC Sports in the United States, DAZN in Canada, or respective regional sports networks often show Premier League matches live or on streaming platforms.
The atmosphere at the City Ground is expected to be electric with both sets of supporters behind their teams.
This meeting sees Arsenal top of the league standings and Forest sitting down the table, meaning the Gunners head in as favourites on paper. Nonetheless, Forest’s home support and recent form could make this a competitive contest.
Team news and injury updates
Arsenal’s squad news ahead of this game includes a major positive development with striker Kai Havertz returning from a long-term knee injury following his recent appearance off the bench in the FA Cup.
His comeback boosts Arteta’s attacking options alongside the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard.
Despite that return, Arsenal still juggle defensive absences from recent high-intensity fixtures, with some defenders still building back to full fitness. Arteta has balanced rotation across competitions and may have a strong starting eleven available for this weekend’s league match.
Nottingham Forest have been adjusting under new management and sit in 17th spot, aiming for consistency in results.
The home side will need to manage their defensive shape well against an Arsenal attack that has shown significant threat in recent weeks. Forest’s recent form suggests they will aim to disrupt Arsenal’s rhythm early in the game.
Both managers will be looking to get key calls right in team selection and tactics, knowing that a win could either strengthen Arsenal’s title ambitions or give Forest a boost in their league campaign. Fans should watch early team announcements for confirmation of starting line-ups closer to kick-off.
