THE LOWDOWN
CHELSEA
- Chelsea’s nightmare season is finally coming to an end as their Premier League status for next season was assured with a 3-1 win at AFC Bournemouth last weekend. The Blues remain an expensive enigma, though.
- Ben Chilwell will definitely miss out, and with Reece James and Marc Cucurella also absent, Lampard is suffering a shortage in the full-back area.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest held on for three precious points last Monday as they defeated bottom-of-the-table Southampton by four goals to three. The Reds are dreaming of an unlikely escape from the drop.
- Emmanuel Dennis has joined the long lists of injured players in the Forest treatment room, while Serge Aurier faces a race against time to be fit for the trip to London.
THE TEAM NEWS
CHELSEA
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Badiashile, Hall; Kante, Fernandez, Gallagher; Madueke, Havertz, Mudryk
UNAVAILABLE: Bettinelli (Injured), Cucurella (Injured), James (Injured), Chilwell (Injured), Mount (Injured), Broja (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Koulibaly (Injured)
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Navas; Aurier, Felipe, Niakhate, Lodi; Yates, Kouyate, Danilo; Johnson, Awoniyi, Gibbs-White
UNAVAILABLE: Henderson (Injured), McKenna (Injured), Biancone (Injured), Richards (Injured), Williams (Injured), Dennis (Injured), Wood (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Aurier (Injured), Lodi (Injured), Colback (Injured), Shelvey (Injured), Scarpa (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
Frank Lampard will want to finish his Chelsea career, and potentially his managerial career on the whole, with a flourish. The hosts earned a much-needed 3-1 win at Bournemouth last weekend, following on from six successive defeats in all competitions. Nottingham Forest rode their luck in a much-needed and vital win last week against soon-to-be relegated Southampton. Forest have a plethora of injuries and, whilst they will remain stubborn, back-to-back wins for Chelsea seems the likeliest outcome at Stamford Bridge.
TIP: CHELSEA TO WIN
