Nottingham Forest Preview & Team News

Forest was left second from bottom after being thumped 3-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. That defeat broke their run of two games without losing, and the hosts stayed one point below the safe zone. Steve Cooper’s side did have the ball in the net late in the first half, but Willy Boly was ruled offside by VAR. Forest have earned just two points and scored only one goal from eight top-flight road trips, but can take heart from their home form. West Ham, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace were all beaten 1-0 at the City Ground, along with draws against Aston Villa and Brentford. That’s why the home fans hope for another success despite being underdogs in this game.

Chelsea Preview & Team News

Chelsea has work to do to make the top four this term after struggling before the Qatar 2022 lay-off when losing three straight league games. However, the Blues began their recovery with a comfortable 2-0 victory versus Bournemouth, which saw them being six points behind the fourth-placed Spurs with one game in hand. Havertz, who was tipped to break the deadlock, was handed the central striker’s role by Potter and grabbed a superb poacher’s goal by sliding in to convert Raheem Sterling’s cross. The Blues need to enter a series of good performances to keep their chances for the best continental football next season.
