Chelsea head into their first Premier League fixture since the dismissal of Liam Rosenior, with the Blues looking to halt a three-game losing streak in the league.
The managerial change has already paid dividends in the FA Cup, as a narrow 1–0 win over Leeds United secured Chelsea’s place in the final, where they will face Manchester City.
Forest, under VÃtor Pereira, are unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions. However, Nottingham may still fall short of the points needed to feel fully secure heading into next season.
A fiercely contested clash is expected at Stamford Bridge, with both sides boasting plenty of attacking quality, which could produce an open and entertaining contest.
Our prediction:
Over 2.5 goals
