Before kick-off: 13% · 21% · 66%(Nottingham Forest · draw · Arsenal)
Our most likely score was 0–2 (11%); the result 0–1 had 9%.
- Average value of the starting XI: Nottingham Forest €20.5M, Arsenal €56.4M.
- Arsenal were without 1 expected starter: C. Tzolis (2478).
- Premier League: David Raya was the highest-rated goalkeeper (2717).
- Arsenal's expected eleven was in form: average EAR = Elo Above Replacement, football's version of baseball's WAR (Wins Above Replacement). Every rated match scores a player against the average performance for their position: better adds to EAR, worse subtracts. EAR180 adds up the last 180 days (current form); EAR career adds up every rated match. Our predictions add EAR180 to a player's Elo, about 37 Elo points per EAR point. +3.5 over 180 days.
