'Over my dead body' - Arteta not giving up on title race
Nottingham Forest take on Arsenal in the Premier League tonight as second takes on third in the top flight.
Mikel Arteta’s side are still chasing Liverpool in the title race, though hope is fading fast after the weekend’s 1-0 loss to West Ham left them 11 points adrift. Tonight they come up against a side who have been the league’s surprise package so far, with Nottingham Forest currently sitting six points behind Arsenal in third.
While Forest’s title charge failed to materialise, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are chasing Champions League football next season, and they hold a three-point advantage over fourth-placed Manchester City.
And a win today could potentially be vital come the end of the season, with Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Aston Villa all chasing a spot in the top four too.

Liverpool’s statement 2-0 win over Manchester City at the weekend has been hailed in some corners as the win that essentially wrapped up the 2024/25 Premier League title.
The result extended the Reds’ lead at the top of the league to 11 points with 11 games left to play, and though Arsenal have a game in hand, it does not look like Arne Slot’s side – who have lost just once all season – will relinquish such a sizeable lead.
The Reds need just 26 points out of a possible 33, with Arsenal only able to obtain a maximum of 89 points – if they were to win all of their remaining 12 games, that is.
