NOTTINGHAM FOREST have boosted their Premier League survival hopes with two wins in their last three games and won’t be overawed by a trip to Stamford Bridge with Chelsea desperate for a miserable campaign to end.
Steve Cooper’s side have a tricky run-in, with this clash against the Blues followed by a home game against title-chasing Arsenal then a trip to Crystal Palace on the final day.
But successive home wins over Brighton and Southampton have lifted Nottingham Forest three points clear of the drop zone so one more victory might be enough to save their skins.
Forest haven’t won away from home since way back in January, however, and Frank Lampard will be desperate for his underperforming Chelsea side to chalk up another victory after ending their six-game losing streak at Bournemouth last time out.
