Overview
- The Premier League moved the match to Monday at 3pm BST at Stamford Bridge to avoid a sub‑48‑hour turnaround after Forest’s Europa League semi-final first leg.
- Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League will broadcast the game live in the UK, with coverage from 2.30pm.
- Chelsea play under interim coach Calum McFarlane after five straight league defeats without scoring and the dismissal of Liam Rosenior.
- Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in nine matches and take a 1-0 lead over Aston Villa into Thursday’s Europa League second leg, which may influence Vitor Pereira’s team selection.
- Enzo Fernandez, who hit the FA Cup semi-final winner and has eight league goals and three assists, is central to Chelsea’s plans, and Racing Post tipsters back a home win to nil at 9-4.
