On Sunday, January 01, 2023, the 2022-23 Premier League round 18 match between Nottingham and the Chelsea will be played at the The City Ground which will be broadcast live streaming. Chelsea’s hopes of closing the points gap with the top five clubs in the standings are hampered by the need for points from the host camp to leave the relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest has the opportunity to leave the relegation zone by adding three points in the first home match of the new year. The problem is, to get additional points The Tricky Trees have to fight for their first victory since 1997 after losing in a row in seven head-to-head meetings against Chelsea.
Steve Cooper’s men failed to maintain their unbeaten run which they recorded in four consecutive competitive matches after being beaten by Manchester United 3-0. This is Forest’s ninth defeat in the Premier League this season so they are stuck in 19th place with a collection of 13 points.
Given the intense competition between the 12th to 20th ranked owners who are only six points away, the opportunity for Forest to leave the danger zone is still wide open. Especially if you are able to take advantage of Chelsea’s unstable performance lately.
The Blues just managed to win again by beating Bournemouth 2-0. The goals scored by Kai Havertz and Mason Mount failed to be answered by their rivals on Boxing Day at that time.
This victory ended a three-match losing streak in domestic competition since the end of October 2022. Even before this victory, Chelsea had failed to win in five consecutive league games – drew two and lost three.
Inconsistency in performance pushed Chelsea to ninth place in the standings, having the same number of points as Brighton with the advantage of one game postponed. If they manage to win this visit, Graham Potter’s team can at least climb to seventh place, shifting the lead from Fulham by just one point.
A slick record with only one defeat out of Chelsea’s 11 visits to various promoted teams is certainly an encouragement in itself. But the record of failing to win six times in the first league match at the start of the year certainly has to be watched out for.
So, who do you think will win? Nottingham or Chelsea? Don’t miss watching this match which will kick-off starting at 16:30 local time. The following is related information about the Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea match:
