19th- against 8th spot might not seem all that hot. But look: Here's the info that makes Nottingham Forest - Chelsea (even) more absorbing!
- Nottingham Forest have the the worst goal difference (-22) in Premier League
Both sides have had enough rest since their last match. Let's look for an enthusiastic game!
Nottingham Forest form and stats
3-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Nottingham Forest, who have the the worst goal difference (-22) in Premier League, so far this season.
Nottingham Forest faced defeat in their previous match, away at Manchester United (0-3).
Before that, a nice away win at Blackburn Rovers. A Carabao Cup match.
Nottingham Forest are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Southampton awaits in three days.
The Nottingham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have conceded 11 goals.
Chelsea form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Chelsea have produced an overall stat of 3-1-4 so far. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Chelsea have lost on their last two travels.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-0 against AFC Bournemouth in their previous game. That win felt nice as this club had gone five league rounds without winning. Mount got a match rating of 8.35 in that game, top player of the team. Mount hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 36 successful passes (of 43 total).
A defeat, in the Carabao Cup away at Manchester City, before that.
A new game in only four days for Chelsea, the Premier League home match versus Manchester City. Busy days.
The attacking power of Chelsea when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. As opposed to that, Chelsea have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
