📈 Match Narrative & Form Guide
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side ended a four-match winless run with a gritty 2-1 win over West Ham last week, keeping their faint Champions League hopes alive. Forest, on 65 points, must now defeat Chelsea and rely on slip-ups from either Newcastle or Aston Villa to sneak into the top five.
While fans at the City Ground will be checking scores from elsewhere, Forest must focus solely on securing a 20th league victory – a milestone never before achieved in a 38-game Premier League season. Their 2025 revival has largely been inspired by Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenkovic, both key in last weekend’s win.
Chelsea
Chelsea sit fifth and have no need to scoreboard-watch – win at Forest and they’re in Europe’s elite competition next term. Enzo Maresca’s men are in hot form with six wins from their last seven matches, including a narrow 1-0 success over Manchester United last time out, sealed by Marc Cucurella.
However, the Blues’ away form is a concern. They’ve managed just one win from their last ten league games on the road, scoring in only four of those outings. Still, a repeat of last season’s 3-2 win at the City Ground would be enough to seal Champions League qualification and potentially spoil Forest’s fairytale push.
🩺 Team News
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo has refused to reveal much about the fitness of his squad, but Murillo (ankle) is a major doubt. If unavailable, Morato is expected to deputise. Callum Hudson-Odoi could return to the starting XI to face his former club.
Chelsea
Maresca is still without Nicolas Jackson (suspension), but has confirmed that Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu are back in contention. Jadon Sancho is also available after being ineligible against Manchester United. Mykhaylo Mudryk remains suspended, and both Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman are still sidelined.
🧠 Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Chelsea
Chelsea’s superior squad depth and momentum should give them the edge, despite their shaky away record. Forest’s dream is alive, but the visitors’ big-match experience might just break home hearts at the City Ground.
