With their title hopes now all but gone, Arsenal will still be looking to finish the Premier League season with a flourish as they face Nottingham Forest in their penultimate fixture.

The defeat to Brighton means Mikel Arteta’s side know that one more Manchester City win will be enough to end their chase for the title.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are still in need of points to make sure of their safety.

Steve Cooper’s squad start the weekend three points and two places clear of Leeds in 18th – they play Crystal Palace on the final day.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Steve Cooper will be fretting over Danilo’s fitness, with the midfielder a doubt after coming off with an issue against Chelsea. Having utilised a three-at-the-back formation to combat Frank Lampard’s side, it may be that Cooper opts for a four defensively, which would accommodate a return for Brennan Johnson.

Arsenal have suffered another late-season injury blow with Gabriel Martinelli ruled out with an ankle injury. The forward limped off against Brighton and joins William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko – who are both expected to miss the club’s last two fixtures – on the sidelines.

Predicted line-ups

Nottingham Forest XI: Navas; Aurier, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi; Yates, Mangala, Danilo; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi.
