FA Cup holders Arsenal head to Nottingham Forest on Sunday hoping to take the first step on the road back to Wembley next May.

The Gunners have won the competition three times in the last four years, but their form in the Premier League continues to be frustrating.

They needed a 92nd minute equaliser to draw 2-2 at home to Chelsea on Wednesday and are sixth in the table, five points adrift of the top four and stuggling to qualify for the Champions League once again.

Arsenal are likely to be without Sead Kolasinac, Aaron Ramsey, and Laurent Koscielny for the trip to the City Ground, while Nacho Monreal, Olivier Giroud, and Santi Cazorla are also sidelined.

The Gunners are priced at 4/7 to win the game, with Forest on offer at 9/2. The draw is available at 16/5, but visit Codeta live casino before wagering for the chance to boost your bankroll.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine competitive matches, although they have only won four of these.

However, they have lost just one of their last 23 games in the FA Cup, and last season’s run saw them score 18 goals and concede just three on their way to glory.

They have also won seven in a row away from home in this competition, winning by at least a two goal margin in three of their last four, so odds of 17/10 to score three or more against Forest could be worth an interest.

Forward Theo Walcott looks set to be handed a rare start this weekend and he will be eager to impress as he bids to secure a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott can be backed at 8/5 to score anytime during the game and that looks a solid bet.

Forest, who head into the game 14th in the Championship, are without a win in five games and still without a manager after Mark Warburton’s recent dismissal.

They have won just one of their last 12 meetings with Arsenal, a 2-1 home win in 1996, and they are available at 16/1 to repeat that scoreline this weekend.

Arsenal’s last visit to the City Ground was in the League Cup back in 2016. The Gunners ran out 4-0 winners that day and are on offer at 20/1 to repeat the feat on Sunday.

Arsene Wenger’s side have become FA Cup specialists over the past few seasons and it’s difficult to imagine them having too many problems against Forest.

Backing them in a win double with Chelsea, who face Norwich on Saturday, would give a return of just over 5/4 and that looks a decent bet.
