Both Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are going into this weekend’s Premier League clash with momentum on their side, eager to solidify their strong start to the season. Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, have found their rhythm after a shaky beginning. Despite a loss to Manchester City in the opening game, they have won four of their last five matches, scoring an impressive 15 goals during that time.
On the other hand, Forest, managed by Nuno Espirito Santo, boast a solid defence, conceding only five goals in six games – the second lowest in the league. Their backline will be tested as Chelsea, looking for their sixth consecutive win in all competitions, will be aiming to continue their winning streak at Stamford Bridge.
Key players to watch out for include Cole Palmer for Chelsea, who impressed with four goals in their previous game against Brighton. Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White returns from suspension and will provide creativity in the midfield to break down Chelsea’s strong defence.
While Forest suffered their first league defeat last week, their strong away form could pose a challenge for Chelsea. With only 11 goals conceded so far, Forest’s defence will be crucial in stopping Chelsea’s attacking force.
This match is expected to be a tight and tactical battle, with both teams eager for a win. Kick-off is at 2pm BST on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, with highlights available on the Sky Sports app and YouTube channel.
