Starting with Sterling and Azpilicueta | 4-3-3 Predicted Chelsea lineup versus Nottingham Forest
This Saturday afternoon, Chelsea will host Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge in an effort to earn all three Premier League points at home. The Blues just defeated Bournemouth impressively 3-1, which will boost their confidence going into this match.
For this match, Frank Lampard will set up his team in a 4-3-3 shape and is anticipated to make a few changes to his starting lineup. From the beginning of this encounter in West London, both Raheem Sterling and Cesar Azpilicueta will have the opportunity to play.
Predicted Chelsea lineup to face the defence of Nottingham Forest is 4-3-3.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, who allowed one goal in his previous league game, will serve as the Blues' goalkeeper. At the core of Chelsea's defence, Thiago Silva will team up with Benoit Badiashile in an effort to maintain stability for the entire 90 minutes.
While Cesar Azpilicueta aims to make an impression as the left-back, Trevoh Chalobah will fill in as the right-back. They would both be eager to contribute to the Blues' success out on the flanks.
On the bench, Lewis Hall will provide left-back coverage.
Midfield
Chelsea's midfield will be made up of Conor Gallagher, Enzo Fernandez, and N'Golo Kante as they attempt to control the ball and create enough scoring opportunities for the Blues to prevail in this match.
Mateo Kovacic will have to make do with a berth on the bench but might make an impact if Lampard decides to use him in the second half.
Attack
Raheem Sterling will have an opportunity to stand out as the wide player on the left, while Nono Madueke will try to make excellent use of his speed on the right.
For the West London club, Kai Havertz will be the offensive line captain. If Chelsea wants to easily defeat Nottingham at Stamford Bridge this weekend, the German forward will need to find a method to pose a threat to the Nottingham goal.
If the London club still needs a goal at that point, Joao Felix will start the game on the bench while he waits for his chance to shine.
