● Third plays host to second in the Premier League on Wednesday night ● Arsenal saw title chances reduce greatly after terrible weekend ● Nottingham Forest aiming to bounce back from back-to-back defeats Nottingham Forest return to the City Ground on Wednesday night as they take on fading title hopefuls Arsenal in the Premier League.
The Gunners had their lengthy unbeaten run snapped by West Ham United at the weekend, and their deficit to league leaders Liverpool is now 11 points after the Reds claimed their first win away at Manchester City in a decade on Sunday.
Arsenal's title chances have taken a huge hit, but Mikel Arteta supplied a defiant stance in his pre-match press conference.
His team won't be giving up on the season anytime soon, but a tough test awaits.
Nottingham Forest still sit in third despite losing back-to-back games, but the top half of the table currently looks mightily congested.
Fulham are just eight points back from Nuno Espirito Santo's side in tenth.
Forest have been excellent at home this term, losing just twice and conceding ten goals in 12 games.
They embarrassed Brighton on their most recent home outing at the start of February and can close the gap on the Gunners to three points with a win in midweek.
