The Blues are gunning for a sixth straight win
The Blues are ticking along well under Enzo Maresca and welcome Forest to Stamford Bridge this afternoon looking for a sixth straight win across all competitions. Cole Palmer’s remarkable, and record-breaking, first-half four-goal haul took the plaudits last week, and looks primed to plunder more goals against today’s inconsistent vistors.
A statement win at Anfield is a clear highlight of Forest’s Premier League season so far, but otherwise they have largely struggled to pick up points, drawing with the likes of Wolves and Brighton before losing at home to Fulham last time out. Morgan Gibbs-White is back from suspension in a welcome boost.
Enzo Maresca is against without injured captain Reece James, but the right-back appears to be the only injury absence for the Blues boss, with Carney Chukwuemeka back in contention after a fitness concern.
