Kick off! Nottingham Forest start brightly, but Igor Jesus is immediately caught offside. The first half is underway at the City Ground, and the action is building.

Forest push forward and Nicolás Domínguez lets fly from the centre of the box, but his left-footed effort is blocked after a neat assist from Neco Williams. Early pressure building.

Madueke wriggles free on the right, cuts inside and lets fly with his left, but bodies swarm in red and white and the shot never gets through. Ben White had spotted the run early, Arsenal briefly sniff danger, but the block keeps things tight. The noise rises, then settles. The game breathes again.

First real flashpoint. Timber arrives late, a crunching challenge that always looked risky, and the referee is straight over. Out comes the yellow. Timber doesn’t argue much, he knows. A reminder that this is edging towards one of those tense, feisty spells. The crowd feels it too.

Straight into it. Gyökeres doesn’t bother easing himself in, spots a sliver of space outside the box and cracks one early. It’s bold, it’s ambitious, but a defender throws himself in the way. Blocked. Arsenal setting the tone from the first breath.

That’s the whistle for the first 45. Nottingham Forest 0, Arsenal 0, no goals, but plenty of edge. Arsenal have asked the sharper questions, Forest have stood their ground, and it’s been one of those halves where you sense something’s brewing rather than bursting. Take a breath, reset, and get ready, this feels far from done.

Gibbs-White lets fly from distance, a sharp right-footed effort that screams ambition, but it sails just wide. Forest showing they’re not content to sit back, testing the Gunners’ nerves. Crowd leans forward, hoping for that breakthrough.

Domínguez follows up with another thunderbolt from range, Murillo teeing him up perfectly, but Arsenal’s wall stands firm, sliding in just in time to smother it. Forest piling on the pressure now, Gunners on the back foot, and you can feel the tension rising.

Corner to Arsenal after Aina’s misstep, the Gunners sensing a chance to sneak one in.

Same minute, change on the pitch: Eberechi Eze comes on for Zubimendi, ready to spark something from midfield. Fresh legs, fresh ideas, and maybe the magic that breaks the deadlock.

Saliba rises in the box, meeting Rice’s whipped cross with a thundering header, but it’s denied! Forest scramble back, bodies in the way, and the ball refuses to cross the line. Arsenal knocking, knocking, but the door won’t open, yet.

Ola Aina gets booked, picking up a yellow in the dying moments, the tension sparking everywhere.

The fourth official signals five minutes of added time. Five more minutes for either side to snatch glory, and the stadium buzzes like a live wire.

That’s a wrap! We’ll be back with another live blog soon, until then, goodbye!
