The Championship side have experienced a turbulent period in recent years, lurching from play-off disappointments to relegation battles and back again.

In 2021/22, Forest are back in play-off contention mode. They sit in ninth with optimism under Steve Cooper despite defeats in recent weeks.

They face an Arsenal side who have trusted their young guns to forge a path through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals against lower-league opponents all season long.

Mikel Arteta will place his faith in the youngsters once again this weekend as they bid to impress the Spanish boss who is finally starting to deliver progress in north London.

Our prediction: Nottingham Forest v Arsenal

Arsenal will field their crop of youngsters once again in a domestic cup competition. Eddie Nketiah – fresh from scoring four goals against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals – will relish the opportunity to impress again.

However, Forest are not to be underestimated in this one. They boast a solid squad with ambitions of reaching the Premier League this year.

Away trips to promotion-chasing Championship teams are among the toughest ties to be handed in domestic competitions and Forest could do enough to force a replay at the Emirates here.

Our prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Arsenal (6/1 at bet365)
