In the month that followed the festive period fixture congestion, Arsenal FC has had a lot of time off. By the time they take to the pitch at Nottingham Forest, it will have been 11 days time since they last played (the resounding 5-0 win over Crystal Palace in the league).
And that match came 13 days after the Gunners were eliminated from the FA Cup, at the hands of Liverpool.

And that is it, for the entire month of January for them- just those three matches. So the north London side is very rested to say the least. Manager Mikel Arteta can easily go with his strongest side possible on Tuesday night at Nottingham Forest, as everyone has fresh legs.
This is what we think that looks like.
