How each side is likely to approach the game. Confirmed line-ups are released about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Chelsea
Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea are among the title contenders. Expect them to control possession at Stamford Bridge and push Forest back, so their chance count, and the corners market, tends to run high.
Away
Nottingham Forest
City Ground, Nottingham
Nottingham Forest are a mid-table side who are hard to beat on their travels but can struggle to create against organised defences, which keeps their games tighter.

Total goals
Over 2.5 at 56%, under 3.5 at 67%, from expected goals of 2.04 and 0.87.
Draw no bet
Chelsea at 81% on the two-way split; your stake comes back if it ends level.
Handicap
Chelsea -1 is the handicap line that best matches the model's gap between the sides.
Betting notes
How to bet on Chelsea vs Forest
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
The corners range is 10-13. The favourite tends to win most of them while the underdog sits deep, so team corners can beat the match total.
- 02
With the draw only 20%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Chelsea on the Chelsea -1 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.
- 03
The model leans towards goals: over 2.5 at 56% and both teams to score at 51%. Goals markets look sharper than the result here.
- 04
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
