Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest: TV channels, streaming, predictions, recent fixtures

The Blues were beaten 2-0 against Manchester City in the opening fixture of the Premier League, but only dropped two points since, looking great on the attacking end with 15 goals in only six matches this season. 

Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s superstar scored all four goals against Brighton in a 4-2 victory, a week after the Blues eased through West Ham winning 3-0 thanks to Nico Jackson’s brace, while also scoring six past Wolves at the beginning of the season.

Enzo Marseca may be new to the job, but he's already making a big impact at Chelsea. It's still early days, but the fans must be thrilled with the exciting brand of football their team is playing this season. It's been a long time since a manager has had such a strong start with the Blues.

The Tricky Trees are coming off a 1-0 loss at home against Fulham, drawing the week before against Brighton in a 2-2 thriller and shocking the world a week before that by beating Liverpool while keeping a clean sheet.

Nottingham Forrest unlike Chelsea struggled to find the net so far this season, scoring only six goals in as many games. They might lack on the offensive end, but The Garibaldis defense is on a different level this season, conceding only five goals in six games, the second-best in the Premier League after league leaders Liverpool so far this season.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forrest Prediction

The second-best attacking side in the league against the second-best defensive side. This match-up should be really interesting, Chelsea will be looking to come out strong and score early to force Nottingham out of their defensive shell. I think Enzo Maresca’s boys should be able to do just that, catching Nottingham off guard and extending Chelsea's lead. My prediction is a thrilling 3-1 victory for Chelsea, with an early goal setting the pace, the Blues capitalizing on Forrest’s attempts for an equalizer leaving their defensive line open to extend the lead, and Wood pulling one back for Nottingham. This match is definitely one you don't want to miss out on!
