Cole Palmer will bid to add to his four-goal haul in last weekend’s 4-2 win over Brighton.

But Forest have themselves made a decent start, have already won at Anfield this season and are likely to provide a tough test.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest prediction

Forest are certain not to be open as Brighton were last weekend, and it is likely to be a tight contest throughout, with there only being 11 goals in the Reds’ six league games so far.

However, Chelsea, and Palmer in particular, are on a hot streak, and should have enough to come away with another three points that will keep them right amongst it at the top of the table.

Chelsea to win 2-1.
