Published January 17, 2026, 20:15

Arsenal drew 0-0 against Nottingham Forest in the 22nd matchday of the Premier League, missing the opportunity to increase their lead over Manchester City. Although the Londoners were superior and had chances to score, they failed to find the back of the net. Manchester City had earlier lost to Manchester United 2-0, resulting in Arsenal now being +7 ahead of City, but dependent on Aston Villa not winning against Everton. Arsenal will have to wait for the result of the Aston Villa-Everton match to definitively see their position at the top of the standings.
