Nottingham Forest showdown with Arsenal next month is set to be moved to avoid Nuno's high-flyers playing twice in just 48 hours

Nottingham Forest's clash with Arsenal next month is set to be put back by a day to avoid Nuno Espirito Santo's side facing two potentially season-defining games in the space of 48 hours.

Under the current fixture schedule, Forest – who are third in the table, two points behind Arsenal – are due to travel to Newcastle on February 23, before facing Arsenal in an evening kick-off at the City Ground two days later.

With Newcastle only three points behind Forest and in excellent form, these fixtures could be some of the toughest of Forest's season.
