Having defeated demoted Sheffield United 3-1 the previous day, Nottingham Forest is attempting to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since December.
Anthony Elanga is moved to the bench and Moussa Niakhate returns to the starting lineup for Forest, which is one change from the starting lineup from that game.
Moving forward With a groin injury keeping him out of the starting lineup since February, Taiwo Awoniyi is on the bench, while Callum Hudson-Odoi will play in his 100th Premier League game.
Mauricio Pochettino is sticking with the starting lineup that defeated West Ham 5-1 last time out, which is probably not surprising given that Chelsea is having a successful finish to a challenging season.
Midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, who has also been injured and hasn’t played since December 24, and defender Reece James, who hasn’t played since December 10th, are both back on the bench.
