SHOCKING NEWS;Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea English Premier League kick-off time has been rescheduled
ONE more win should be enough to secure Premier League survival for Nottingham Forest and they will be desperate to ease the nerves by getting it when Chelsea come calling.
Forest’s bid to stay up suffered a blow last week when their appeal against a points deduction for breaching financial rules was booted out. But with just two games to go they still have a three-point lead over a Luton Town side who have claimed just one win from their last 16 games.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were unlucky to lose to title-chasing Manchester City in their last home game and will need a repeat of that display against in-form Chelsea.
The Blues have claimed morale-boosting derby wins over Spurs and West Ham in their last two outings and stand a chance of grabbing a European place as they head down the final furlong.
How the bookies view it: Flying Blues the favourites
Chelsea’s resurgence has them as favourites for this one at just evens with Coral. Nottingham Forest are as big as 14/5 at BetMGM while the draw pays 3/1 with Betway.
Recent head to head: Forest out to do the double
Nottingham Forest won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier this season and that made it three games unbeaten in this fixture after two draws in the last campaign. It ended in a 1-1 stalemate when the Blues last came calling.
Players to watch: Callum out to haunt Chelsea
Callum Hudson-Odoi was the Nottingham Forest hero last week with a double in the win over Sheffield United. He has extra motivation here going up against his old club and looks overpriced at 2/1 with Paddy Power for a goal or assist.
I tipped Nicolas Jackson for over 1.5 shots on target last time out and he delivered by scoring a double against West Ham. So I’m sticking with the big striker here as he always seems to get chances. The same shots bet in this match pays a decent 5/2 with Bet365 and he’s 7/4 with the same firm to score.
