Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Blues are an exciting side to watch this season.
Chelsea are looking unstoppable right now and are scoring goals for fun. Much of the credit needs to be given to Enzo Maresca who has a clear mind of using his squad to full strength. The abundance of talent Chelsea have in their team are evident already after their second-string side thrashed Gent in the midweek UEFA Conference League match to secure a dominating 4-2 win.
Enzo Maresca’s side has scored 15 goals in the last five games with every player playing part in this outcome. Cole Palmer has looked unstoppable this season scoring four goals in the previous game to inspire the Blues to another win. The potential of this team looks scary if they continue to deliver the results.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have suffered a dip in form in the last couple of games. Although the Reds pulled some impressive results on the road, particularly their win over Liverpool, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have failed to win their last two games showing their inconsistency to carry on the momentum.
Although they have assembled a good squad this season after a high-profile summer, it will take time for the Reds to start producing results consistently. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side has become a thorn in Chelsea’s side in recent encounters, it remains to see how they handle another Blues attack in this afternoon clash on Sunday.
