Although Nottingham Forest was just a newly promoted team, and their opponent, Arsenal, was the defending champion, it was no exaggeration to say that this was the most high-profile match in the Premier League.
Sky TV had chosen this game to be broadcasted live to all of England. It was believed that on top of the benefits for the Arsenal fans, there would be a lot of interest in whether the 25-year unbeaten record could be broken.
"Forty-three, this is a captivating figure. As long as Wenger's team does not lose to Nottingham Forest here, they will set a new record. But Arsenal has to be careful, since at the same time, this can also be a pitfall." Martin Taylor sat in the press box and began to speak, giving the audience his analysis of the game through the microphone. "I don't think Tony Twain will let his opponent get three points on the Forest team's home ground."
Next to him, Andy Gray added. "Yes, that's right, he's like a bulldog."
