    FT: NF 1-0 Arsenal. That's it!! Forest are safe and City claim the title after Gunners fail to come back from their first half defecit. Arteta's men will be disappointed with that one after they dominated the most of the possession and controlled large swathes of the game.
  • 90'
    Seven minutes added on
  • 84'
    Arsenal still controlling the pace and control of possession here, but nothing doing yet.

    Back underwayy here in Nottingham! Big half at both ends of the table.
  • 45'
    HT: Forest 1-0 Arsenal. Dominant half from the Gunners here, but nothing to show from it. It was a quick break which gifted the home side the lead as Arteta will have to find a way to make his players turn things around. If things stays as is, City will be champions and Forest will be safe. Big half coming up.

  • PRVW
    Only around half an hour until kick off now here at the City Ground.... All eyes on the late kick off now that the other games have finished.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal starting XI CONFIRMED. Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Xhaka, Jorginho, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
  • PRVW
    Nottingham Forest starting XI CONFIRMED: Navas, Worrall, Mangala, Awoniyi, Gibbs-White, Niakhate, Yates, Aurier, Danilo, Lodi, Felipe.
  • PRVW
    Cooper's men are currently teetering on above the relegation zone, just three points from the bottom three. What's more, if they don't win today, Leeds will have a game in hand on Forest, and will be just three points ahead, so it's vital they beat the Gunners.
  • PRVW
    Even though many are considering the league title over, Arsenal still must win to keep the pressure on City... It's not over until it's over!
  • PRVW
    Arsenal possible line-up: Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Odegaard, Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
  • PRVW
    Nottingham Forest possible line-up: Navas; Worrall, Niakhate, Felipe; Aurier, Yates, Danilo, Mangala, Lodi; Gibbs-White, Awoniyi
  • PRVW
    It's a key game this one at both ends of the table - if Arsenal lose, it hands City the title while if Forest lose they'll be in the midst of an even messier relegation fight come the final day.
