Premier League 2022-23: Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: Predicted ... (Khel Now)

Chelsea will try to start over and defeat Nottingham Forest on New Year's Day in order to put a disappointing 2022 behind them.

The Blues are still a bunch with a tonne of talent, even though they faltered and stuttered into the winter break. There are reasons for optimism from people in Robin Hood land when combined with Chelsea’s terrible road record—team Potter’s has dropped three straight-away games. N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Armando Broja are all out with injuries, but Reece James has joined them. The City Ground will serve as the venue for the game. After their World Cup exploits, Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech are once again available for Chelsea. Although Graham Potter’s team defeated Bournemouth in a convincing manner to end the year, a first league visit to the City Ground in nearly 23 years is not a given.

Steve Cooper explained that “Jesse walked off the other night, and we’re still waiting for that to settle down, in terms of the exact damage, if any at all”, leaving him a doubt for the clash with Graham Potter’s side. However, with their ambitions set firmly on a top 4 spot this season after a poor start to the season, they will be no easy opposition. Also a doubt is Morgan Gibbs-White, with the Forest record signing still suffering from a leg injury and likely to be subject to a late fitness test.

The Chelsea Chronicle has given the predicted Blues line-up to play against Nottingham Forest tomorrow in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Mason Mount starts again as the advanced midfielder with a licence to roam. Also, there may be a second alteration in the backline at centre-back. Potter could stick with the front three again tomorrow as he tries to find some consistency in the Chelsea forward line. There’s big pressure from supporters to get another win during their travels on New Year’s Day, too. The third and final change could come in the centre of the park in Chelsea’s box-to-box midfield position. Chelsea are back in action tomorrow when they travel to the Midlands to play against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

[Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang](https://www.football.london/all-about/pierre-emerick-aubameyang) is waiting for a chance but he can't have too many arguments if it's not against Forest considering the performances of the attackers in the week.

There could, though, be a couple of changes to the line-up for the match in Nottingham. It was much-improved from Chelsea, who are right at the start of a long-term project that Potter is leading. [Reece James picked up another injury](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/chelsea-reece-james-injured-bournemouth-25845398) in the second-half and his absence seemed to affect Chelsea, who didn't look anything like the side they were in the first period. The Blues were operating with a 4-3-3 formation, something we are not too used to seeing. However, as Chelsea returned to action on Tuesday evening against Bournemouth there was a sense of optimism.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: 3 things to look out for (The Pride of London)

Chelsea finally returned to winning ways, picking up a comfortable 2-0 win against AFC Bournemouth in their previous game. But what can Blues expect next?

For comparison, Manchester City equally dominated Leeds United and they created seven clear-cut chances with the space they got, taking 11 shots with 0.15 xG or higher out of 26. These numbers don’t reflect the Blues’ dominance in the game, and this has been a theme for the majority of the past three seasons. Chelsea put Bournemouth under intense pressure for about 70 per cent of the game and won the ball back in very good areas, especially in the final third.

Nottingham Forest was well-handled well by Manchester United on Tuesday and won't have it much easier come New Year's Day with a visit from Chelsea.

Romeo Lavia is back on the bench after a knee injury and the young Belgian midfielder has been Southampton’s best player so far this season. There are so many players excelling for the Cottagers and Mitrovic is leading their hopes of a top 10 finish as only Ivan Toney, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland have scored more goals than him in the PL this season. Their owners Sport Republic (who arrived in January 2022) need to spend big in the upcoming window to provide Jones with a forward, center back and creative midfielder who can help push them up the league and out of the relegation zone. Fulham lead 1-0 and the Premier League have marked that down as a Ward-Prowse own goal. Manor Solomon remains out after suffering a serious knee injury on his debut but is close to a return, while Neeskens Kebano is out after rupturing his Achilles. Juan Larios and Theo Walcott are both struggling with respective hip and calf injuries, while goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has an ankle injury but could come back in soon when he is fit. That is the kind of thing which happens when you’re down at the bottom. Given their solid foundation — USMNT duo Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson are at the heart of it — and the quality service they get to Aleksandar Mitrovic, a top 10 finish looks very possible. Despite that they are just two points from safety but they need to pick up wins, fast, and have a pivotal stretch of games coming up. They are all over the place after Ralph Hasenhuttl was fired in early November and they badly need reinforcements in January if they’re going to get themselves out of this mess as they’ve won just three of their 16 games this season. Moments later Southampton with a great chance to take the lead. A beauty from the Saints skipper.

Chelsea have also done a terrific job holding teams below what they should have in the goal department. Henderson has done a solid job this season of keeping Forest in matches, and Chelsea haven’t been the best of finishers this season. Forest are led in attack by Taiwo Awoniyi, who failed to register a single shot against Man United despite playing more than an hour. While Chelsea are strong favorites, I wouldn’t fully shy away from the moneyline. Chelsea are still much better equipped with their depth to navigate the injury concerns at hand. We dive into that and more in our Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea picks and predictions for Sunday, January 1. As for the Blues, they’ve found the back of the net only 19 times in 15 matches and are averaging fewer than one per match on the road. So now Chelsea turn to Forest, a side coming off a 3-0 defeat at Manchester United. In 16 matches, Forest have scored just 11 times. But once he came off, things seemed to stagnate as Chelsea were unable to replicate the free-flowing moves they had before the break. Without his vision and playmaking ability, Chelsea can at times find themselves searching for ways to pick apart teams who park the bus. Reece James hobbled off less than an hour into his return and his absence could be quite a blow to their fading hopes of challenging for a Champions League place.

Chelsea face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on New Year's Day, so we simulated the game to predict the final score.

The first of his two goals made Forest more desperate in their attacks, and an ambitious long ball forward from Scott McKenna was cut out by substitute Denis Zakaria to kickstart a Chelsea counter-attack. A late Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace secured the three points whilst Denis Zakaria also impressed off the bench, with Potter maybe needing to look to his substitutes for inspiration on New Year's Day. Chelsea worked the ball around the box as they looked for an avenue through, and Jorginho's was the key, finding Sterling on the shoulder of the last defender with a great through ball. The German's first touch saw the ball roll into his path, and his second was his shot, firing a powerful effort across goal to send the Blues ahead. Mount was performing well on the left of the three, and he played a big role in Chelsea taking the lead after 27 minutes. The goal caught Chelsea by surprise, but they regained the lead eight minutes after the restart through Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea’s last match at the City Ground was back in February 1999, a 3-1 league win when all the Chelsea goals were scored by Nordic players – one a first league goal from teenage Finnish striker Mikael Forssell and two from Danish winger Bjarne Goldbaek. Although we haven’t met Forest in the league for almost 24 years, we have hosted – and beaten - them five times in cup competitions since then. At the end of the 1976/77 season, Chelsea and Forest were promoted together to the top division (the Blues finishing second and the Reds third). In an early season game in 1987/88, the Blues completed a famous comeback victory against a Clough side, recovering from 2-0 and then 3-1 down at Stamford Bridge to triumph 4-3. A 19-year-old John Terry spent a few weeks on loan at Nottingham Forest during the latter stages of the 1999/00 season, playing six games of which Forest didn’t lose one. A whole generation of Chelsea fans have never seen us play Forest in the league.

With the period that we've had, we've had to adapt a few things. The players are multifaceted in terms of their qualities so they can play in a few positions. He can drop in but he can also threaten the backline and he can score. I want to play the most games I can. Graham Potter will be hoping for Chelsea to start 2023 as well as they ended 2022 with a clean sheet and three points to build some momentum following the return of domestic football. You can't do anything about the price tag and all that goes with that, and there's an expectation, but he's still a young player that's learning the game and has fantastic quality. Chelsea are closing in on the signing of talented youngster Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama. I want to play every game. Narrowing that gap will be high on Potter's agenda for the new year.

Nottingham Forest v Chelsea: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will Nottingham Forest start the year in positive fashion against Chelsea? Join Rob Smyth to find out.

[Chelsea](https://www.theguardian.com/football/chelsea) both move up a place, to 18th and 8th respectively. Boly won the second ball and headed it towards Aurier, lurking with intent on the left side of the six-yard box. 67 min Forest have been outstanding since the break – and they’ve shown that they have more than one way to skin a defence. 75 min “Donut Mystery,” is the subject of Joe Pearson’s email (and the name of my solo jazztronica project). “I think the word in question (58 min) is ‘gogosar’. 68 min Lodi’s awkward cross is controlled superbly by Awoniyi at the near post, but he then mishits a left-footed shot. They certainly don’t look right at the moment, and it’s slightly strange to think that they are the current world club champions because they are palpably in transition. 87 min Gibbs-White, such a classy, elusive player, slips Gallagher neatly in midfield to lead another Forest break. Chelsea started well and scored through Raheem Sterling, but they struggled to live with Forest’s greater intensity in the second half and Serge Aurier’s equaliser was well deserved. We’ve started the year well and now we have to continue to fight together to stay in the Premier League. But the summer was the summer and you have to look at where we are now. The manager told us at half-time to believe in ourselves a bit more.
