Left-back Davis (3 pts) fell one PPM short of three bonus points.
Forest's goal was typical of an Oliver Glasner team with one wing-back assisting the other but the visitors were too wasteful once again.
Gibbs-White (4 pts) has created 19 chances across his last four appearances and can count himself incredibly unlucky to have only registered one assist in that time given his creative output, he also had an individual xG of 0.74 at Portman Road.

Merino (2 pts) and Odegaard (4 pts) had five shots each but only one (from the Norway international) was on target.
Rice (6 pts) was the only Arsenal player who earned three bonus points.
£2.2m midfielder Armstrong (7pts) made five tackles and claimed three bonus points.
