This still-in-progress Chelsea team displayed its clear quality last week against Luton Town with a comfortable 3-0 win. The result also marked Mauricio Pochettino’s first competitive victory as Blues boss. That much-needed win was followed up with a slightly nervy victory over AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup, but now attention switches back to the Premier League. It’s been the form of Raheem Sterling that has been most impressive at this early stage of the season, but credit must also go to young forward Nicolas Jackson who grabbed his first EPL goal against Luton. 

By contrast, Nottm Forest have endured a less enjoyable last few days. Last week’s defeat to Man Utd was a painful one. Steve Cooper’s men initially went 0-2 up within the first 10 minutes and began dreaming about a famous victory at Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils wrestled back control of the match and scored three goals to claim the win. This disappointment was followed up with elimination from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Burnley. A far cry from last season when Forest reached the semi-final stages of the competition. 

Here's how they line up: 

Chelsea: Sanchez, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Gusto, Gallagher, Caicedo, Chilwell, Sterling, Jackson, Fernandez.

Nottingham Forest: Turner, Boly, Worrall, McKenna, Aurier, Yates, Danilo, Aina, Mangala, Awoniyi, Gibbs-White.

Chelsea are looking to continue building on the good mood slowly spreading around West London, while Nottm Forest will hope to back-bounce after a couple of frustrating defeats. To find out how this one plays out, you’ll need to watch a Chelsea vs Nottm Forest live stream.
