Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watchIt’s a time of new, or renewed, resolutions and fresh starts as we turn the page from 2022 to 2023. Of course, that’s just a symbolic event, outside of maybe a few new traffic and tax laws going into effect... plus all the local idiots lighting off fireworks to scare my dogs and start a few fires. But I digress. Chelsea came into 2022 on the back of a terrible December (12 points from 21), battling injuries (Ben Chilwell, Reece James) and interviews (Romelu Lukaku) and COVID concerns. (And that was nothing compared to what the following few months would bring! ) Chelsea come into 2023 on the back of a terrible month (2 points from 15) — and subsequent break and win, so 8 points from 21 — battling injuries (Ben Chilwell, Reece James, and many more) and various other concerns, including the part where we’re not comfortably in the top-four unlike twelve months ago.
They are due for a ton of positive regression defensively, as they’ve allowed 33 goals off 26. Offensively, they have created the ninth-most big scoring chances, while Chelsea defensively is 13th in big scoring chances allowed. Plus, at some point all of these new signings are going to be able to gel into Steve Cooper’s 3-5-2 system.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, they were not exactly a cohesive or capable unit for a while, notching just 1 win from their first 11 league games. But Steve Cooper has turned things around somewhat, and they do have two wins and seven points from their last five, moving them off the bottom of the table. In fact, that’s three points better than our record over that same span, so Graham Potter’s probably right to be wary. Former Liverpool loan warrior and Union Berlin striker Taiwo Awoniyi leads the team in scoring with three goals. In less wary news, record-signing Morgan Gibbs-White remains out, while Jesse Lingard picked up a knock in their previous game.
Also, Morgan Gibbs-White has been upgraded to probable for this match, which is huge because he is their best attacking player. Chelsea Since Potter has taken over Chelsea, the Blues have a -1. 9 xGD and in their last seven matches in the Premier League before the break — if you take away penalties — they lost the expected goals battle in every single match except for the one against Bournemouth on Tuesday. Problems still exist for Chelsea. They are struggling to turn final-third possession into a high quality chance because they currently don’t have a go-to striker.

Nottingham Forest did not have great start out of the break, losing in convincing fashion 3-0 at Old Trafford. They are currently sitting in the relegation zone and are desperate for points, so this is a crucial match in their quest for survival.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Odds, Pick - Action Network
The underlying metrics show that there are still real problems at Chelsea creating chances in the final third and not having James or Chilwell available makes it even harder for the Blues to create chances up the wings. I only have Chelsea projected at -107, so I like the value on Nottingham Forest at home where they’ve performed much better.

They are struggling to turn final-third possession into a high quality chance because they currently don’t have a go-to striker. In terms of progressive passes + dribbles, box entries, and xThreat, Chelsea is in the top seven in all of those categories, but they have taken the fewest shots inside the six yard box and they’re outside the top 10 big scoring chances. This is why the Blues are only averaging 1. 05 npxG per match, which is 13th in the Premier League.
Plus, the injuries are still racking up for Chelsea, as Reece James was forced off against Bournemouth and will miss this match. Additionally, Ben Chilwell and N’Golo Kante are both likely to miss this match as well. Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea Pick Nottingham Forest have been dreadful this season, but I am not ready to say Chelsea has turned the corner after one decent performance at home against Bournemouth.

Chelsea got things going out of the break with two first half goals that ended up being the difference, beating Bournemouth 2-0 at home. Things had not been going well for Graham Potter’s side heading into the break, but consecutive wins could get them back in the race for the top four. Nottingham Forest This season has been going quite poorly for Nottingham Forest, but they are one of the biggest positive regression candidates over the second half of the season.
The Nottingham Forest defense has conceded 33 goals on the season, but only off 26. 6 expected. They have conceded a Premier League-high 12 goals from outside the box on 3. 2 expected. Dean Henderson is currently at a -4. 1 post shot xG +/-, but throughout his career he’s never been below -1, so he’s not as bad as a keeper as he’s shown this season. Nottingham Forest is a huge home/road split team. On the road this season they have a -9. 6 xGD away from home, but only a -1 xGD at home.

So that’s a problem, especially as we looked considerably worse after his departure in that game as well. Numbers in training have been boosted by the returns of Mateo Kovačić and Hakim Ziyech, but that’s about it for good news in terms of injuries and availabilities. Édouard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Wesley Fofana will hopefully be back soon-ish, but Ben Chilwell, N’Golo Kanté, Armando Broja are out long-term. Chelsea would move up (up! ) into the seventh (woo! ) place with a win, and close the gap to seven points to third-place Newcastle United, who were held to a scoreless draw by Leeds United today. We can make a race out of the top-four/-six yet! (Manchester City also dropped points while Arsenal won easily — though they almost [FUNNED] it up — which is annoying, but the title race is not our fight.
