Latest team news for Nottingham vs Chelsea
Coach Nuno Santo remained tight-lipped at the press conference, only stating that some players had minor injuries without revealing specifics. However, he confirmed that center-back Murillo had not trained since his ankle injury in the win against West Ham and was likely to miss the match. If so, Morato would partner with Milenkovic in defense.
Hudson-Odoi – a former Chelsea player – is likely to return to the starting lineup with the determination to defeat his old club.
For Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson remains suspended, but manager Enzo Maresca has good news as both Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu are ready to return. One of them could start in place of Tyrique George, while Jadon Sancho also returns after missing the match against his parent club Manchester United last week.
Wesley Fofana and Omari Kellyman remain sidelined with thigh injuries. Mykhaylo Mudryk is still suspended due to doping allegations.

Latest football match prediction: Nottingham vs Chelsea
Nottingham Forest still have a chance to participate in any European competition next season, from the Conference League – where they've already secured a spot – to their dream Champions League. To achieve that, they need to beat Chelsea and hope that either Newcastle or Aston Villa – both currently with 66 points – slip up against Everton and Man United respectively.
In last week's crucial 2-1 victory over West Ham, two of Forest's standout players this season, Morgan Gibbs-White and Nikola Milenkovic, shone brightly. Gibbs-White capitalized on a serious error by goalkeeper Areola, while Milenkovic scored from Elanga's free-kick. Although Jarrod Bowen pulled one back, Forest ended their four-game winless streak and revived their hopes of breaking into the top five.
If they beat Chelsea, Forest will achieve their 20th Premier League win of the season – something they haven't done in a season that spans 38 matches.
Chelsea also have 19 wins in 37 matches and are currently in fifth place, meaning their fate is entirely in their own hands. Last week, they secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Man United with a header from Cucurella, marking their sixth win in their last seven matches – a very timely performance as they prepare to play the Conference League final against Real Betis three days later.
However, Chelsea's away form is not very impressive. In their last 10 away matches in the Premier League, they have only won 1, failed to score in 6 games and scored a mere 5 goals.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Forest at Stamford Bridge in October, but won 3-2 at City Ground last season. If they win again, they will have won two consecutive matches at Forest's ground – something that hasn't happened in 103 years.
