Chelsea form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Chelsea have managed 6 wins, 5 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Chelsea, their manager Lampard and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Happy days for Chelsea in their previous game, a fixture away at AFC Bournemouth (placed 14th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after failing to win seven matches in a row. Midfielder Kanté was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.5 (out of ten) in that game. Kanté served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Arsenal.

Chelsea have only conceded 16 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

There's been little loot from Nottingham Forest's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 17 away games in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest only have 1 win to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. A depressing seven defeats in a row for Nottingham in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus AFC Bournemouth.

Nottingham Forest are travelling after their nice 4-3 home win in the match against Southampton (placed 20th). An insane game with an abundance of goals last time out for Nottingham Forest, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fun game, will this fixture be as gleeful? Danilo has bagged at least one goal for the away team three matches in a row. The efficiency! The attacker Gibbs-White got a match rating of 8.45 in that game. Gibbs-White scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that match, the Nottingham manager Cooper faced defeat when travelling to Brentford and losing 1-2.

Observe that 9 of this club's 12 latest league games have ended with three or more goals.

Goals are few and far between in Nottingham Forest's away league games. Only {8 goals} from 17 travels. The Nottingham Forest manager Cooper has some worries about the defense as 41 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Chelsea have put together a streak of 5 consecutive matches without losing (4-1-0) when facing Nottingham Forest.

The last head to head match ended Nottingham Forest - Chelsea 1-1, earlier this season.
