Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Forest’s talisman so often this season, but Brennan Johnson is on the bench ahead for this game. Captain Joe Worrall comes into Steve Cooper’s side, and will slot into a three-man defence with midfielder Ryan Yates pushing forward into Johnson’s attacking role.

Forest’s Premier League survival hopes were given a massive shot in the arm last time out, beating fellow strugglers Southampton 4-3 to climb out of the relegation zone. That victory was their second in three games having not won in 14 previous outings, and another here would take them five points clear of Leeds in 18th.

With just four games of their season-to-forget remaining, 11th placed Chelsea come into this one off the back of a first league win for interim coach Frank Lampard. A 3-1 victory at Bournemouth was the Blues’ first in eight Premier League games, and they’ll be looking to make it two against another side down at the bottom end of the table.
