Our partners: 777Spinslot casino was created with the intention of offering superior gameplay, customer experience, and it offers a big variety of no deposit slots from the best providers of the industry.

The fixture list hasn’t been kind to Mark Warburton’s side, pitting them against Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves in quick succession, with Chelsea yet another tough ask.

Our Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest predictions revolve around the Blues having far too much quality for the visitors to handle, which makes a resounding win to nil very good value within this week’s football odds.

Antonio Conte’s men have been in uncompromising form of late, with Qarabag put in a similar position to Forest, but in the Champions League. Armed with far less quality than their opposition, they were put to the sword in a 6-0 rout.

Chelsea have lost just two competitive games at Stamford Bridge in 2017, with only Burnley able to ruffle their feathers this season on their own patch. Forest are unlikely to make the same impact.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Advice

The hosts last lost on their own patch in the EFL Cup back in 2013, with Swansea City managing an unexpected 2-0 win. Since then, Bolton, Liverpool, Spurs and Bristol Rovers have tried and failed.

Forest, meanwhile, haven’t played a Premier League side on the road in this competition since 2014. Tottenham were their hosts three years ago, with Ryan Mason, Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane scoring for Spurs in a 3-1 victory.

Three consecutive clean sheets at home point in the direction of the fact that it might be fairly simple outings for the Blues in London, with there, therefore, value to be head in Chelsea winning without conceding.

Everton, Qarabag and Arsenal have been unable to find a way through against Conte’s system so far this season, with Forest set to be the next to try and fail.

Michy Batshuayi found the back of the net against Qarabag in Europe, with the Belgian striker likely to be given more minutes as Conte rotates this week. Our Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest picks highlight that he might just get on the scoresheet again, in a bid to keep impressing.
