Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Chelsea and Nottingham Forest will kick off their matchday seven of the Premier League action on Sunday at the Stamford Bridge in London. The Blues are currently on an impressive win run, but can Forest cause an upset in the match?
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea have continued to show remarkable form under new head coach Enzo Maresca after a disappointing start to the new campaign. The Blues have won their last three consecutive League matches in great style, with their last match at the weekend ending in a stunning 4-2 win against Brighton on their home soil. Cole Palmer displayed a great individual performance by scoring all four goals in the first half of the match. The positive run of form sees Chelsea sit fourth in the league table with 13 points, only two points off the top of the table. They are the top scorers in the league, with 15 goals scored while conceding seven goals.
The Blues continued the remarkable performance by making it their fifth successive win in all competitions against Genk in the continental action on Thursday night at Stamford Bridge.
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest are coming into this match with a mixed run of form, but they have managed to secure two wins in the league. Forest tasted their first league defeat of the season last weekend when they fell to a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Fulham, which ended their five-match unbeaten run. They sit in the middle of the league table with nine points and have scored six goals from their opening six matches while conceding five.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team has not lost any away games this season, having secured victories against Southampton and Liverpool. Beating Liverpool at Anfield will give them a big confidence boost for their match at the Stamford Bridge. They have only conceded two goals in away league games so far, both of which were at Brighton.
