Comments and predictions for Chelsea vs Nottingham: Palmer is excellent

Latest Chelsea vs Nottingham team information

Chelsea's medical area is almost empty, with captain Reece James and Omari Kellyman recovering from a thigh injury. There is no timetable for James' return. Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka was also absent from the Gent game through illness, and is unlikely to feature in the Premier League when Maresca re-enlist their full-strength squad.

Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho has assisted in each of his first three Premier League games for Chelsea, and is on course to become only the second player to do so in his first four games for the Blues, after Cesc Fabregas. For Nottingham Forest, Morgan Gibbs-White will return to the squad after a one-match suspension, a much-needed boost after his creativity was lacking against Fulham.

Nicolas Dominguez could make way for Gibbs-White, while Taiwo Awoniyi could be dropped to make way for Elanga or Callum Hudson-Odoi. Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo are still out injured, but the rest of Forest's squad is fit for the trip to west London.

Latest Chelsea vs Nottingham predicted lineup

Chelsea:

Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Nottingham Forest:

Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Ward-Prowse, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood

Latest Chelsea vs Nottingham football review

After Cole Palmer scored four goals in one half of a Premier League game, Chelsea continued their impressive form with a win over Gent in the Europa Conference League.

The likes of Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all scored in the game, helping Chelsea get off to a perfect start in the group stages of this year's competition. However, Gent's first goal was also notable, as it was set up by the son of former striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.

Chelsea are currently on a five-game winning streak, including three Premier League wins over Bournemouth, West Ham United and Brighton. They are in the race for Champions League qualification, and are in the top four behind Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. With 15 goals scored, Chelsea have maintained their best attacking record this season, with a shot conversion rate of 20.3%, also a Premier League record.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have been happier with narrow wins and draws, but suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season against Fulham. The Tricky Trees failed to find the target and conceded a second-half penalty. They remain comfortably in mid-table, though, sitting 10th, comfortably above the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest will be a challenge on Sunday, but they have taken 13 points from a possible 15 away from home in recent times. History is on their side too, with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge last season. Despite Chelsea's impressive form, Forest's defence has conceded just 18 shots on target, second only to Manchester City. However, Palmer's presence could help Chelsea overcome these challenges and claim a sixth successive win.
