Forest head coach Cooper would have breathed a second sigh of relief at Stamford Bridge to see no more players enter the treatment room, as the hosting manager may be working around absentees in the double figures once again.
Dean Henderson (thigh), Chris Wood (thigh), Giulian Biancone (knee), Neco Williams (jaw), Omar Richards (calf), Scott McKenna (shoulder), Jack Colback (head) and Jonjo Shelvey (calf/internal disciplinary) are all expected to miss out once again, while Gustavo Scarpa has experienced a setback in his recovery from a calf problem, but Emmanuel Dennis should be fit.
Cooper's bold decision to demote Brennan Johnson to the bench paid dividends at Stamford Bridge, and the Tricky Trees tactician should see no reason to fix what is not broken, potentially deploying a 3-5-2 setup to try to quell Arsenal's rampant attack.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Navas; Worrall, Niakhate, Felipe; Aurier, Yates, Danilo, Mangala, Lodi; Gibbs-White, Awoniyi
Arsenal
Arsenal's fitness worries are also mounting at the worst possible time, as it has been confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli will miss the Gunners' final two games of the season with the ankle injury that he sustained in a challenge from Brighton's Moises Caicedo last weekend.
Prior to that three-goal defeat, it was also claimed that William Saliba (back) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf) would also sit out the remainder of the campaign, and Arteta has now conceded that the former will not play again this term, despite a surprise appearance in team training last week.
Saliba is not expected to prove his fitness in time for Saturday either, while knee victims Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu will also miss out again. Despite a dissatisfactory cameo against his former club last weekend, Leandro Trossard should be first in line to displace the stricken Martinelli.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Odegaard, Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Arsenal
