Forest are under immense pressure, sitting 17th with just five points from six games. Manager Ange Postecoglou faces uncertainty as his tenure teeters, having failed to win any of his first six league games. His squad has struggled defensively and failed to gain momentum, leaving the club vulnerable to relegation battles.
The visitors will be in dire need of taking something at home and, more than likely, will play it safe, concentrating on solidity in defense while looking to catch out City on the counterattack.
Chelsea come to Nottingham in good form, having brought an end to a two-game losing run by beating Liverpool 2-1. Enzo Maresca's side will miss the presence of influential Palmer, so Fernandez should hold his advanced position in attack.
The Blues will most probably monopolize possession and press up high, trusting in their strike trio to take advantage of Forest's backline weaknesses. Confidence and recent performances make Chelsea obvious favorites to enter this encounter.
Nottingham Forest possible lineup vs Chelsea (3-4-2-1): Sels; Cunha, Milenković, Murillo; Savona, Sangaré, Anderson, Williams; Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Jesus
Chelsea predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest (4-2-3-1): Sánchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella; James, Lavia; Estêvão, Buonanotte, Garnacho; Pedro
Chelsea are favourites considering Forest's low form and defensive weaknesses. But Forest's support at home and possible counterattacks might make the match competitive. Chelsea will likely dominate possession, but a close scoreline is to be expected.
Prediction: Chelsea to win, perhaps 2-1 or 1-0.
