The Chelsea Blues will try to achieve a 6th victory in a row on Sunday afternoon when they host Nottingham Forest, to grab a place on the Premier League podium just before the break, or to consolidate their solid 4th place, against a Forest team which is not in the best form but which negotiates its meetings well against the big names of the championship.
However, it will be necessary to produce an impeccable copy to withstand the shock against the Blues. The latter are starting to be more and more regular and are riding a fairly impressive offensive success (16 goals in four matches). With this confidence, they take on a new dimension.
This is the challenge Nottingham will face at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Forest are not arriving in the best conditions either, having won only one of their last five matches. But his good performances at Liverpool and Brighton suggest that this meeting could be closer than expected.

Chelsea – Nottingham: history of confrontations
Chelsea: news and form
The Chelsea project is experiencing a growth spurt. Still upset this summer and quite irregular until the beginning of September, the London club is now lining up victories and is on the verge of aiming for a place on the championship podium in the event of a home victory on Sunday afternoon.
Irresistible at Stamford Bridge
A stadium in which we know that he is transcended, in line with his 2023-24 exercise. His two missteps at the end of the summer (defeat against Manchester City and draw against Crystal Palace) now seem far behind, and the Blues can build on a series of five consecutive victories, including three at Stamford Bridge.
A fire attack
Even more impressive is the pace and efficiency that Enzo Maresca’s team manages to impose in its meetings recently. It’s still too early to say everything is perfect, but they are becoming more and more consistent across all sectors, and the results are following.
Chelsea’s ultra-talented attacking sector is the main architect of the team’s good form. With 16 goals scored in the last four games, there is almost nothing to complain about. Although this record was made easier by affordable opponents like Barrow in the League Cup and La Gantoise in the Conference League.
Palmer at the helm
However, the Blues still have to show that they are capable of achieving this kind of performance against a team that knows how to defend against the attacking armadas of the Premier League. In this context, the sparkling form of Cole Palmer, exceptional in his decision-making at the moment, will once again be essential if the Blues want to reach a new level.
Chelsea: The last five matches
Key points:
- Growth spurt for Chelsea : After a difficult month of August, Chelsea have gained in consistency and can reach the podium in the event of a victory
- Irresistible at Stamford Bridge : In line with its good performances at home last season, Chelsea have three victories on their lawn.
- A fire attack : Enzo Maresca’s team impresses with its offensive efficiency, scoring 16 goals in the last four games, even if some opponents were more affordable, such as Barrow and La Gantoise.
- Palmer at the helm : In-form Cole Palmer is key in decision-making and will be crucial for Chelsea to prove they can perform against defensively strong sides in the Premier League.
The Blues rested all their Premier League starters this week during their C4 meeting. These starters were able to prepare for this last championship match before the international break and we can believe that this made the difference at the start of the match in favor of Chelsea.

Nottingham: news and form
Nottingham are perhaps the team that most resembles the anti-Chelsea at the moment. Forest is indeed struggling to string together good performances, and its record remains stuck at just two victories in six Premier League days. We are not talking about a crisis, its 10th place in the ranking remains honorable, but producing a good copy this Sunday would do everyone good.
Only two wins this season
Because Forest is suffering a lot in the game recently. Although this is more or less his signature, his trademark, being so widely dominated in the course of the game, in possession and in the number of chances created could end up weakening the group.
Win by suffering
The record of Nuno Espirito Santo’s players is not catastrophic. They remain with a narrow defeat against Fulham, a draw against Brighton, and a victory at Liverpool. However, in these last three meetings, they have never climbed above 40% possession and have only attempted 20 shots combined. Very little to hope to survive against a team which creates as many chances as Chelsea. Still, as long as they maintain such efficiency in the shots/goals ratio, we might be tempted to believe that everything will be fine.
Nottingham: Last five matches
Key points:
- A team not necessarily expected : Nottingham Forest is struggling to string together good performances, with only two victories in six Premier League days, despite a 10th place in the standings.
- Only two wins this season : Forest are often dominated in the game, with little possession and few chances created, which could end up weakening the team in the long term.
- Win by suffering : The record is not catastrophic with a defeat against Fulham, a draw against Brighton, and a victory at Liverpool, but Forest never exceeded 40% possession during these three matches.
- Efficiency in question : Despite few shots (20 in three games), Nuno Espirito Santo’s team maintained good efficiency, but will face a greater challenge against a team like Chelsea, who create many chances.

The Blues are finding more and more solutions in attack and, at the same time, they are holding on better and better at the back. Faced with Forest’s attack, which is not in its best form, we can believe that Chelsea come out without conceding a goal.
