I'm going to try to tick off some data trends in this game to form our Bet Builder.
Let's start with some value and that's backing Nicolas Dominguez for 2+ fouls at 8/52.60.
The Argentine midfielder has won his place back in the starting XI following new boss Nuno Espirito Santo's arrival and has been giving some whole-hearted performances.
The tackles have been flying in - he managed one every 12 minutes against Blackpool in the FA Cup recently - and, unsurprisingly, the foul numbers have risen too.
Dominguez has landed this bet in three of his last four games, while look a bit further back and the stat becomes five in 10.
Forest will likely need to do something of a containing job here - Arsenal are 2/51.40 to win the game - so Dominguez gets the nod.
Moving onto the shots markets, Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes looks of interest.
He's the man they seek out most from set-plays, as highlighted by the fact he's scored three times in his last four games.
Here we have the side who have scored the most goals from set-pieces (Arsenal) up against the one to have conceded most from such situations (Forest) so this is an area the Gunners should get some joy in.
The big-money chasers may well be interested in backing Gabriel for another goal - he's 9/110.00 in the anytime scorer market - but we'll keep thing simple and back him just to have a shot.
Also, the hosts' Ryan Yates should be good for 1+ shot too.
The midfielder will be a threat from any set-plays the home side create, while he's also a player not afraid to try his luck from distance.
Yates has had a shot in 10 of his 11 starts this season. Include his substitute appearances, and he's landed the bet in 10 of his last 12 appearances.
He's started the last five games and with Forest still without six players due to Africa Cup of Nations call-ups, expect him to make the XI again.
The three legs combine to create a Bet Builder which pays around 11/26.50.
