Chelsea are set to take on Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the English Premier League. The Blues secured a much-needed victory last time out as they beat Gary O'Neil's Bournemouth 3-1 last week.

Frank Lampard finally won his first game of his second stint as Chelsea boss having lost the first six games in a row. Conor Gallagher, Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix secured the win for the Blues while Matias Vina scored the goal for the Cherries.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, beat Ruben Selles' Southampton 4-3 in quite a dramatic fashion last week. A brace from Taiwo Awoniyi and Morgan Gibbs-White and Danilo secured the win for Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest. Carlos Alcaraz, Lyanco and James Ward-Prowse scored the goals for Southampton.
