Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest match preview
After, finally, claiming their first victory of the season last Friday night, can Chelsea now pick up back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since 11 March?
Eight days ago, the Blues beat Luton Town 3-0, with Raheem Sterling bagging a brace, before he turned provider, putting the ball across for Nicolas Jackson to bag his first for the club.
These were much-needed three points for Mauricio Pochettino, given that his reign had began with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, before a 3-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham.
Then, on Wednesday night, it looked like being more calamity for Chelsea, finding themselves 1-0 down at home to League Two side AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.
Nevertheless, Noni Madueke equalised from the penalty spot in first half stoppage time, before Enzo Fernández’s winner saw them avoid embarrassment and reach round three.
Nottingham Forest meantime were also in League Cup action on Wednesday, but they will not be featuring in the next round later this month, dumped out by Burnley at the City Ground, the only goal coming in injury time.
After that, Manchester United roared back, eventually winning 3-2 courtesy of a rather soft penalty, this coming after Joe Worrall had been sent off.
The Reds have now won just one of 21 Premier League away games since their promotion, this coming at Southampton in January.
Given that their next away game is at Manchester City on 23 September, this streak could go on for a little while longer.
Although, both meetings between these two last season actually resulted in draws, while Forest’s last win at Stamford Bridge came in 1995, courtesy of a Stan Collymore brace.
So, can the visitors spring a massive surprise, or will Chelsea win again?
