Having won for the first time in ten official matches on a historic Saturday for Britain, the lagging Chelsea finally crossed the 40-point mark by beating Bournemouth 3-1. However, they cannot stop there in order not to end up in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the first time since the 1995/96 season. The Blues will try to win only their third home game this calendar year. Moreover, all these successes cannot be called easy, as the Londoners achieved them after goalless first halves. After 34 rounds of the current championship, the Pensioners have 11 victories and nine draws, which correspond to 42 points and 11th place in the standings. Today, Fofana, Gora, Koulibaly, James, Cucurella, Chilwell, Broja, and Bettinelli, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to take part in the match.
Nottingham Forest gained a new impetus after defeating “Southampton” 4-3 on Monday and pulled away from the relegation zone by three points. The first victory at Stamford Bridge since January 1995 could also be significant in many ways, as it would put them within just one point of mathematical safety, depending on the losses of “Leeds” and “Leicester”. But even a draw would be very welcome for the “Forest”, considering that Steve Cooper’s men are traveling to London after seven consecutive defeats in the Premier League, most of which occurred on the road. In 35 rounds, the “tricky trees” have eight victories and nine draws, which corresponds to 33 points and the 16th position in the table. In this match, Shelvey, Scarpa, Colback, Auri, Wood, Williams, Richards, McKenna, Henderson, Dennis, and Biancone will not be able to participate due to injuries.
