NOTTINGHAM, England (Jan. 17, 2026) (Interstat) — Nottingham Forest and Arsenal opened their Premier League campaigns with a scoreless draw Saturday at The City Ground.

The match failed to produce a goal despite a late push from the visitors. Arsenal substitute Jurrien Timber provided a key spark after entering the game, registering a notable statistical contribution, but could not break the deadlock. Timber also received a yellow card in the 37th minute, with Forest’s Ola Aina booked in the 90th.

The result defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, which gave Forest a 54 percent probability to win and forecast a 1-1 scoreline. Both clubs now hold identical records of one draw in league play this season.
