Chelsea is expected to start Hall in place of Chilwell in a 3-4-3 against Nottingham Forest.
Lampard’s Chelsea finally managed to triumph after years of failure. The young Blues defeated Bournemouth 3-1 on the road at Vitality Stadium, where they hadn't triumphed since 2017. Late in the game, Conor Gallagher, Benoit Badiashile, and Joao Felix tallied goals and earned the three points.
Now, Chelsea will welcome Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge in an effort to pick up their second straight victory. Even if there isn't much left to play for, the west Londoners will want to finish the season on a positive note while giving their young prospects an opportunity to show they have what it takes. Players like Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Benoit Badiashile have already won over some Chelsea fans.
Ben Chilwell may have played his final game of the season after suffering an injury against the Cherries in the second half. Reece James, Mason Mount, Kalidou Kouliably, Marc Cucurella, and others will not appear either. Despite returning to individual training earlier than anticipated and playing on the grass, Armando Broja may be too late in the season to be reinserted into the starting lineup. Wesley Fofana, however, ought to be back in the running.
Nottingham Forrest vs. Chelsea probable lineup (3-4-3)
Kepa Arrizabalaga, No. 1 custodian
At the Vitality Stadium, the Spaniard's gymnastics between the sticks once more won over the crowd. Although Arrizabalaga is unconcerned about his playing time for the balance of the season, he must perform at his best to prevent serving as Chelsea's backup custodian next season.
Chelsea are reportedly considering replacements for an upgrade in this role.
