Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea LIVE: Blues aiming to grab Euro spot as Nuno’s side look to beat drop – latest updates

  • Reece James returns

    There is a HUGE bit of news for Chelsea fans ahead of this game.

    Captain Reece James has returned from injury following his surgery.

    He is one of the best full-backs in the world when he is fit, but injuries have been a huge concern for the England international this season.

    If he can stay fit though, he could really be huge for Chelsea in their European push.

    Let's hope he makes it through today unscathed.

  • Lots on the line

    The magnitude of this game cannot be underestimated.

    With a win at home, Nottingham Forest will secure Premier League football for next season, which will be a huge achievement given their points deduction earlier on this year.

    However, Chelsea cannot afford to lose.

    The Blues are desperate for European football next season, and with the way Man Utd have been playing of late, they are in with a real shot of playing in the Europa League, should they win today.

    But if they lose they will be in danger of missing out, as Newcastle play Man Utd next week.

  • Welcome to Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea!

    Good afternoon and welcome to Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea, the first instalment of today's Premier League football!

    This is a fixture that has been dominated by Chelsea in recent seasons, and they will be the favourites today.

    But their form away from home is quite different to their Stamford Bridge form, and we will have to see if things have really turned around for Mauricio Pochettino today.

    It has been far from a great season for Nottingham Forest, but a win today will guarentee that they are playing Premier League football next season, so there is more than enough on the line.

    Stay tuned as coming right up SunSport will have any breaking news, team updates and the starting sides all before kick off at 5:30pm.
