Embed: #102361<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal is in immaculate form and I want to continue riding the momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5-2 stomping of West Ham saw five different Gunners score in the first half, including two penalties and a header from a corner kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Martin Odegaard is fully healthy, and his reinsertion into the starting 11 has had a big impact on both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since April, Arsenal has been undefeated when the Norwegian midfielder is in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His presence gives Bukayo Saka the freedom to find spaces on the flanks and take on opposing backs in one-on-one situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presents problems for a Manchester United team that is still adjusting to a new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruben Amorim’s former side, Sporting Lisbon, suffered a 5-1 beatdown to Arsenal in the Champions League just a few weeks ago. The Gunners ran circles all over the same 3-4-2-1 formation and scored five times on 3.89 expected goals while creating five big chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 4-0 victory against Everton on Sunday was Amorim’s first at Old Trafford. Despite netting four goals, they generated just 1.07 expected goals \u2014 per FotMob \u2014 and benefitted from a couple of clumsy errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United be without key players Kobbie Mainoo and centre-back Lisandro Martinez for this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gunners are seemingly back in form and look to narrow the nine-point gap from the top spot with a comfortable victory over the Red Devils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Arsenal won its last three matches overall with a margin of three or more goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nottingham Forest +1.5 (-121): <\/strong>Manchester City are winless in its last seven games in all competitions as the reigning English champions were lifeless in its 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Citizens are getting exposed without Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who was the driving force of the entire squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without him, City’s midfield has looked disjointed and is susceptible to more final-third box entries and counterattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mateo Kovacic and John Stones, both with defensive midfield experience, are sidelined for Wednesday’s match with injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its last four league matches, City has conceded 10 goals while scoring just two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nottingham Forest, once a relegation contender, has since exceeded expectations by landing in the top half of the table with 22 points through 13 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the season, the Tricky Trees brought Liverpool to its lone defeat of the season and held formidable foes Chelsea, Newcastle and Brighton to draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad is great at limiting chances by clogging the central areas of the pitch and disrupting the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest owns the second-lowest non-penalty xG in the Premier League (12.39), according to theanalyst.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a respectable 3-2-1 away record this season, Forest can feel they can make it a competitive game at the Etihad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this is where City snaps its winless streak, but I don’t expect it to come by a multi-goal margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
