Chelsea v Nottingham Forest Match Preview
Chelsea head into this Premier League fixture in disarray, yet find themselves in the unlikely position of still harbouring hopes of Champions League football. A place in the FA Cup final keeps that dream alive, though beating Manchester City would be a considerable ask given the state of the squad.
A specific combination of results — including Aston Villa winning the Europa League — would also need to fall their way in the league. The ongoing issues with player attitude have once again been a talking point, with the squad's response to Liam Rosenior's dismissal reflecting poorly on the dressing room rather than the departed manager, who was let down as much by those who appointed him as by those he managed.
Nottingham Forest arrive with their own considerations to weigh up. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are sandwiched between 2 legs of their Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa, having taken a first-leg lead. That advantage may tempt Pereira into rotating his squad here, particularly with what he may view as more manageable league fixtures to follow.
Survival in the Premier League should be the priority, though the pressure on Forest is eased slightly by the context around them — Leeds United's 3-1 home win over Burnley last time out moved Daniel Farke's side 9 points clear of the drop zone, which effectively removes them from relegation contention and shifts focus onto the sides immediately above the bottom 3.

Each selection has been taken from our Chelsea v Nottingham Forest Bet Builder.
Over 0.5 Nottingham Forest Goals @ 1.40
Forest have scored in each of their last eight matches across all competitions, going unbeaten throughout that run.
Only Bournemouth, Brighton and Manchester City can better Forest's form record across this period, a remarkable achievement for a side battling near the bottom of the table.
Chelsea's clean sheet against Leeds last time out flattered them significantly, with Rob Sanchez producing three brilliant saves and a goals prevented tally of 0.99 to keep them in the game.
Morgan Gibbs-White to have 1+ Shots on Target @ 1.73
Gibbs-White has taken 75 shots across 33 Premier League starts this season (2.32 per 90), with 28 finding the target (0.87 per 90).
He has found the target in each of his last five Premier League appearances, registering six goal contributions across that run.
Gibbs-White had four shots when these sides met earlier in the season and leads Forest's scoring charts with 13 Premier League goals this campaign.
Joao Pedro to have 1+ Shots on Target @ 1.30
Pedro has taken 66 shots this season with 27 finding the target (1.01 per 90), his shot average having risen to 2.47 per 90 from as low as 1.5 earlier in the campaign.
He has found the target in three of his last five Premier League appearances and struck the post in Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final win over Leeds last time out.
Forest allowed Chelsea six shots on target when the sides met at the City Ground earlier this season, suggesting Pedro should get opportunities here.
Elliot Anderson to be Fouled 2+ Times @ 1.40
Anderson has won 73 fouls across 34 Premier League starts this season (2.16 per 90), winning a foul in each of his last five league appearances with multiple fouls in three of those games.
He was fouled four times when these sides met earlier in the campaign, highlighting how Chelsea's aggressive midfield naturally plays into his strengths.
Anderson was fouled three times against Aston Villa on Thursday, partly due to retaliation but also a reflection of how naturally he draws fouls in his game.
