Chelsea look for their sixth consecutive win as they face Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Enzo Maresca’s side is in great form with two 4-2 wins in a row. They come off the back of a win against Gent in the Europa Conference League where goals from Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall handed three points to the Blues.
Their last game in the Premier League came at Stamford Bridge against Brighton where Cole Palmer netted four times during the first half in a 4-2 win over the Seagulls.
The Blues now sit fourth in the table, one point behind Arsenal and Manchester City and two points behind league leaders Liverpool who face a game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
It won’t be an easy task for Chelsea on Sunday though as they face a visiting Nottingham Forest who have already beaten Liverpool so far this season.
Despite all the good news for Chelsea, club captain Reece James has still not returned from his thigh injury meaning he will be out until after the international break which starts next week.
