Chelsea v Nottingham Forest preview: Team news, head-to-head, stats and prediction

Chelsea are without Ben Chilwell, who injured his hamstring during the win over Bournemouth.

Wesley Fofana is expected to return after his own hamstring issue but this game comes too soon for Marc Cucurella.

Nottingham Forest defenders Serge Aurier and Renan Lodi are doubts after they were both taken off with injuries during the game against Southampton.

Emmanuel Dennis is out, while Gustavo Scarpa is lacking fitness after a month out with a calf problem.

CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION

I don't seem to be able to call Chelsea right whatever I try, so this time I am basing my prediction purely on Nottingham Forest's abysmal away record.
