Chelsea are on a five-game winning streak across all competitions following their 4-2 victory against KAA Gent on Thursday. Cole Palmer scored four goals in Chelsea's 4-2 win over Brighton in matchday 6, and will look to get back to scoring after sitting out on the European clash.
Despite the likes of Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk forced to share playing time among each other due to Chelsea's large roster, Enzo Maresca has ensured that they will all get minutes throughout the season.

For Nottingham Forest on the other hand, it has been a rollercoaster start of the season as they sit deservingly sit in 11th place.
