Jackson gets nod over Nkunku, Pedro Neto decision - Chelsea predicted team vs Nottingham Forest

Chelsea host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon

by · football.london

Chelsea will be looking to maintain the pressure on the top three in the Premier League when they host Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. All three of the leading teams won on Saturday, although none were without problems.

Liverpool squeezed past Crystal Palace 1-0 in the early kick-off but were somewhat fortunate not to concede a late penalty. Manchester City and Arsenal, meanwhile, both had to come from behind in home matches with Fulham and Southampton.

Chelsea will go back to two points off top sport with a win over Nuno Espirito Santo's side, but it will not be easy, with Forest only just coming off the back of their first defeat of the season against Fulham last time out.

There are bound to be changes from Enzo Maresca, as he looks to rotate his squad having seen the Blues beat Gent in the Conference League on Thursday night.

Here football.london takes a look at who we think will be in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon...

Robert Sanchez

Had his sticky moments against former club Brighton, but the Spaniard is Maresca's number one and will surely return between the sticks for this Premier League clash(Image: Ryan Pierse)

Malo Gusto

Chelsea really have not missed Reece James during his injury layoff and that is testament to how well Gusto has played. James will have a tough time earning his spot back(Image: Catherine Ivill - AMA)

Wesley Fofana

Back from injury this season and he is taking his chance with both hands. Building a good centre-back relationship with Colwill(Image: Marc Atkins/Getty Images)

Levi Colwill

Has not missed a minute of action so far this season and that is not expected to change on Sunday A future captain of the club that is for sure.(Image: Robin Jones)

Marc Cucurella

Moises Caicedo

He is now repaying the £115million shelled out on him just over a year ago. He has made more tackles and interceptions combined than anyone else in the Premier League this season(Image: Photo by Robin Jones/Getty Images)

Enzo Fernandez

Another big money signing who is repaying that now. He has slotted into Maresca's system seamlessly and has a good relationship with Caicedo(Image: Chris Lee - Chelsea FC)

Jadon Sancho

Looks a changed man since arriving at the club from Manchester United. He has been excellent so far and has already worked up a good relationship with Cole Palmer(Image: Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)

Cole Palmer

The first name on the teamsheet. Four goals against Brighton, a rest against Gent, he'll be back as the main man to lead Chelsea(Image: Robin Jones/Getty Images)

Pedro Neto

Impressed against Gent in the Conference League on Thursday, scoring like he did against Barrow in the Carabao Cup. Looks the most likely from that night to keep his place in the team and play in the Premier League(Image: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC)

Nicolas Jackson

Despite another goal return from Christopher Nkunku in Europe, Jackson is expected to reclaim his place up top against Forest. Missed some good chances against Brighton and will be looking to get back on the goalscoring trail(Image: Chris Lee - Chelsea FC)
