Well you fancy Cole Palmer to finish that with the ability he has got.
Nobody tracks him and he has to just get it on target.

A wonderful pass from Moises Caicedo and Cole Palmer should do better. The £100m man lifts a clever ball over the top which Palmer runs onto but Chelsea's top scorer volleys wide.

The thing I like about Forest is they play with a purpose and a tempo.
When I look at Chelsea I don't get what they are doing - it's so slow.

Shoooot urge the Forest fans and Ryan Yates does! The Forest captian fizzes in a fine low effort from 20 yards out that strikes the base of the post. So close.

Morgan Gibbs-White does well to pick out Forest team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi but he takes too long on the ball and Noni Madueke takes it off him.

Forest aren’t a Premier League team. Long ball to the big centre forward jostle and bully the opposition attack. Look forward to them going down next year.

Thiago Silva clears a cross to Forest's Ola Aina, who decides to shoot from a good 35 yards out. It goes over the bar but was closer than I expected.

Image source, Getty ImagesI really do not see why so many rate Pochettino. He has proven to be a 'nearly' manager and always will be. Clubs quickly move him on after he has a small purple spell. There are some excellent managers available this summer and the Chelsea hierarchy know it. Not that any of them will probably entertain managing such a volatile outfit.

Gonzalo Montiel can't pick out Callum Hudson-Odoi in the box, it's cut out by Moises Caicedo. Tha came moments after a promising Chelsea attack.

Chelsea need to play quicker, Forest are getting behind the ball and saying 'you can have it'.
Chelsea need to quicken up if they want to get a result here.

What does the second half have in store for us?

Nottingham Forest getting away with every shirt pull, late challenge, judo throw... Disappointing from the referee letting that all go.

Two Forest players had fewer than 10 touches in that half - Matz Sels and Gonzalo Montiel.
In La Liga, a much-changed Real Madrid lead 2-0 at Granada at half-time with goals from Fran Garcia and Arda Guler.
The Champions League finalists have already wrapped up the Spanish title.

A fair result so far.
Forest have had the better chances, but Chelsea have dominated the ball and they're not looking to hurt Forest.
Chelsea don't have a centre forward. You cannot tell me that Raheem Sterling cannot do better than Nicolas Jackson!
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea
We are level at the break. Forest on course for the point they need to be 100% sure of survival.

And yet Forest have had twice as many chances as Chelsea...

Such a poor game at the City Ground, Forest are not interested in playing any football. Some of these Forest defenders should have a go at WWE, if they’re not interested in playing football.

Noni Madueke slips into the outstretched arm of Ryan Yates. The referee comes over to check on the Chelsea man but he's fine.
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea
Just as I was thinking Cole Palmer has been fairly quiet - aside from his assist - I see a stat he has created three chances in this game, more than any other player on either team.

Following their 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge in September, Nottingham Forest are looking to complete their first league double over Chelsea since 1978-79, when they were reigning top-flight champions under Brian Clough.
Chelsea have won just two of their last 10 away league games against Nottingham Forest (D4 L4), winning 1-0 in November 1994 and 3-1 in February 1999.
Nottingham Forest have only lost their final home league match in one of their six previous Premier League campaigns (W4 D1), doing so against Sheffield United in 1992-93 with a 2-0 defeat that confirmed their relegation.
Following their 3-1 win at Sheffield United last time out, Nottingham Forest are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the third time since their promotion in 2022 (previously January 2023 v Southampton and Leicester and December 2023 v Newcastle and Man Utd).
Though they’ve lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games (W6 D5), Chelsea are winless in their last five away from home (D4 L1). Indeed, the Blues have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 14 Premier League away games, since a 2-0 win at Fulham in October.
Chelsea’s Premier League games have seen 129 goals this season (F70 A59), the third most after Sheffield United (135) and Newcastle (134). Indeed, only in 2009-10 (135) have Chelsea’s games produced more goals (F103 A32).
Including penalties, Nottingham Forest have both scored the fewest (7) and conceded the most (27) set piece goals in the Premier League this season.
Chris Wood has scored more goals than any other Nottingham Forest player in the Premier League this season (12). However, no side has he faced more often without ever scoring in the competition than Chelsea (11).
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson has been involved in six goals in his last five Premier League games (4 goals, 2 assists), as many as in his previous 16 appearances (3 goals, 3 assists).
Cole Palmer has been involved in 30 Premier League goals this season, scoring 21 and assisting nine. The last Chelsea player to be involved in more was Eden Hazard in 2018-19 (31 – 16G 15A), while 2009-10 was the last time a Blues player scored more in a league campaign (Didier Drogba 29, Frank Lampard 22).
