Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal History
Nottingham Forest and Arsenal have met over 100 times over the years, albeit the games being predominantly cup clashes in the recent history of this fixture, and there are also a number of players that connect both clubs.
In recent years the likes of Carl Jenkinson, Henri Lansbury, and forward Kevin Campbell have played for both teams. Additionally, groundbreaking defender Viv Anderson started his glittering career at Forest, playing over 300 times for the club and playing a key role in back-to-back European Cup triumphs, before moving to Arsenal in 1984, where he made 150 appearances before he moved to Manchester United in 1987.
Anderson was the first black player to play for the senior England national team when he won his first cap in 1978.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal Head to Head
Clashes between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal have been few and far between in recent years, and the May 2023 meeting at the City Ground was the first time the Gunners had taken on their hosts in a league match since January 1999.
The fixture in 2022/23 saw Steve Cooper’s side all but end Mikel Arteta’s hopes of an unlikely Premier League crown, with bustling forward Taiwo Awoniyi scoring the only goal of the game.
That previous Premier League clash in January 1999 finished in the same scoreline, albeit with Arsenal edging it; Martin Keown being the player to break the deadlock as Forest sunk to a bottom-of-the-table finish that season.
In the gap between these two matches, Nottingham Forest met Arsenal in cup action regularly.
In September 2016, Arsene Wenger’s side made light work of the opposition, with Lucas Perez scoring twice and Granit Xhaka and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also both on target in a comfortable 4-0 win.
However, two years later, in FA Cup action Nottingham Forest humbled Arsenal in the FA Cup. Defender Erik Lichaj scored the first on 20 minutes, and Per Mertesacker equalized for the away side before Lichaj netted again, and Ben Brereton scored from the spot to make it 3-1 just after the hour mark.
Danny Welbeck reduced the deficit only for Kieran Dowell to score another spot-kick, and Forest could even afford to have Joe Worrall sent off and still secure a famous 4-2 cup success.
January 2022 saw Arsenal travel to the City Ground for another FA Cup Third Round tie, where they once again came unstuck against the then EFL Championship side. Lewis Grabban scored the only goal of the cup tie with seven minutes left to play.
