Chelsea Preview: Could Palmer Be The Best In The League?

Chelsea Predicted Lineup - Robert Sánchez; Marc Cucurella, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto; Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo; Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke; Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea are flying under Enzo Maresca so far this season. They currently sit fourth in the Premier League on 13 points. This is just two off of top spot Liverpool. A win here could be crucial to a potential title push.

One thing they certainly have going for them is their goal scoring record. This season so far they have scored 15 goals which is more than any other team in the league.

Cole Palmer in particular has six goals to his name this season making him the second highest in the division. Four of those goals coming in his record breaking performance vs Brighton a week ago. If anyone is to score in this game it is surely him.

Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup - Matz Sels; Àlex Moreno, Murillo, Nikola Milenković, Ola Aina; Nicolás Domínguez, Ryan Yates, James Ward-Prowse, Elliot Anderson; Chris Wood, Taiwo Awoniyi

Forest had an amazing start to the season however following defeat in their last match against Fulham they have dropped down to 10th in the table. This having picked up nine points in six matches.

Interestingly Forest don’t tend to score many goals. They have only scored six times this season which is the joint third lowest in the league. However they don’t concede many either which is where a lot of their points have come from. They have conceded the joint second lowest number of goals in the division (5).

This will be no easy test for Nuno Espírito Santo's men however if they can keep Chelsea at bay in this match who knows what they might achieve.
