Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest odds: Gabriel Martinelli backed to score first at 5/1

With only 48 hours between the Aston Villa game and this tie, Unai Emery will make a raft of changes to the Arsenal side.

Mesut Ozil, Reiss Nelson and Gabriel Martinelli are all likely to get a game, as is Rob Holding.

We spoke to Andy Ha ahead of the match at the Emirates Stadium:

Recommended bets:

  • Arsenal to win 3-1 - 9/1
  • Gabriel Martinelli to score first - 5/1

Win, lose or draw?

There should be enough quality on the pitch to reach the next round - with an Arsenal win at 2/5 .

A 3-1 win to Arsenal at 9/1 will be enough.

First goalscorer?

Tyreece John-Jules or Gabriel Martinelli will lead the line for the Gunners, and I would fancy one of them to open the scoring.

Martinelli to score first is 5/1 for Emery's side.

First card?

Lucas Torreira should start after being benched at the weekend, and the fiesty Uruguayan is always good for a booking.

Who is on penalties?

A tricky one, given Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe will likely be given the night off. Reiss Nelson could grab the ball if Arsenal are given a spot kick.

Nelson is 13/2 to score first or 9/5 anytime should he feature tonight.

Will you keep a clean sheet?

Forest will probably score, let's be honest. No clean sheet for Arsenal is priced at 1/2 with thepools.com so I'm pretty sure they will concede.
