Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Nottingham Forest, Romeo Lavia starts

Chelsea will be eyeing back-to-back Premier League wins when they face Nottingham Forest on the road this afternoon.

The Blues registered a statement victory over Liverpool before the international break and will want to continue the good momentum.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Robert Sanchez is the Blues' undisputed starter in goal in the Premier League. He is guaranteed to feature between the sticks ahead of Filip Jorgensen.

In front of him, Reece James and Marc Cucurella are poised to start at right and left-back respectively. Trevoh Chalobah has returned from suspension and should partner Benoit Badiashile in central defence.

Moises Caicedo could have a new central midfield partner in Romeo Lavia with Enzo Fernandez expected to occupy the number 10 position in the continued injury absence of star playmaker Cole Palmer.

Further forward, Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho should line up on the right and left wing respectively. Joao Pedro is poised to lead the attack against Forest and will be aiming to end his goalless run.

Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Forest: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Neto, Fernandez, Garnacho; Pedro.
