Chelsea’s Predicted Lineup vs Nottingham Forest: James Starts, Lavia Decision Looms.

Chelsea face Nottingham Forest in their final Premier League match of the season with significant stakes on the line. Both teams are pushing for Champions League qualification, with the outcome potentially hinging on results from other key fixtures: Manchester City vs Fulham, Newcastle vs Everton, and Aston Villa vs Manchester United.

For Chelsea, a win would almost guarantee a top-four finish, barring an extraordinary result in Manchester. However, their away form has been poor, with only one win on the road since December. Nottingham Forest have also struggled at home, earning just one point in their last four matches at the City Ground.

Here’s a look at the starting XI manager Enzo Maresca could choose:

    Robert Sánchez – Despite facing criticism, he remains Chelsea’s clear first-choice goalkeeper and has shown improved form in recent weeks.

    Reece James – Returned to the lineup against Manchester United and delivered a crucial assist. His presence is key in big matches.

   Trevoh Chalobah – Recently called up to the England squad and now a staple in Chelsea’s backline.

    Levi Colwill– Has built a strong defensive partnership with Chalobah and offers excellent distribution from the back. Tosin Adarabioyo is also an option if Maresca wants more aerial strength.

    Marc Cucurella – A fan favourite known for his attacking contributions, Cucurella has become a consistent threat going forward.

With the pressure mounting and only 90 minutes left in the season, Chelsea must find a way to overcome their away struggles and secure their return to Europe’s elite competition.
