Nottingham Forest 0-0 Chelsea

Kieran Gill, Mail Sport, at the City Ground:

Survival party atmosphere at the City Ground. It is loud, to say the least. Nottingham Forest supporters cheered when the scores from elsewhere were shown on the big screen. Chelsea going to need to show they can handle this atmosphere...

KICK-OFF: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Chelsea

It's crazy how much the mood can change in a matter fo minutes.

The City Ground is absolutely buzzing and they belt out 'Mull of Kintyre' before the game gets underway.

The atmosphere is incredible in Nottingham.

Here come the teams!

The party has already started at the City Ground.

It's all smiles in the tunnel, the Forest players look very relaxed now the pressure is off.

As they come out of the tunnel you can just feel the fun from the crowd, they are loving life.

Atmosphere building in Nottingham

Kick-off is approaching, and Turnstiles are turning.

There is a buzz in Nottingham right now after the news of Luton's defeat at West Ham.

They know that they are nearly safe, I'm sure the atmosphere is going to be that of celebration.

'Callum Hudson-Odoi has been fantastic'

Jamie Redknapp, former Liverpool midfielder, speaking about Callum Hudson-Odoi on Sky Sports:

He (Callum Hudson-Odoi) has been fantastic this season, especially of late, the goals he has scored. As soon as he gets it onto his right foot he is very difficult to stop.

Warm-ups underway

This game just got that bit bigger after the 3pm results.

Now that Nottingham Forest can secure survival today, they will be all guns blazing from the first whistle.

That means that Chelsea's preparations for this match may just have to go up a notch. It's going to be an intense night.

They've got them started, anyway.

Burnley RELEGATED, Luton lose

It's already been a massive day for Nottingham Forest and they haven't even kicked off yet.

The relegation battle has just taken a huge turn, with one of the fighters' battle coming to an end.

After losing 2-1 away at Tottenham, Burnley have been relegated from the Premier League.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Luton relinquished a 1-0 advantage away at West Ham, meaning they are all but down.

If Forest get a point or more, they will guarantee their Premier League survival.

It could be a day of celebration for them.

Palmer homesick on the road

Cole Palmer has been excellent this season, especially in 2024, however, he doesn't always like being away from home.

Palmer has netted 13 league goals in 2024, all of which have come at Stamford Bridge.

He’s still yet to score away from the Bridge in his six away appearances in the league this calendar year.

He will want to change that today.

Goals galore at the City Ground?

I think we should expect goals today...

Why do I say that, you ask? Well, both sides aren't particularly strong defensively.

Nottingham Forest have managed to keep just one clean sheet in their last 25 league matches.

Meanwhile, Chelsea aren't much better, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their past 14 league games away from home.

Now I've said that, it's going to be 0-0, isn't it?

Forest seeking league double over Blues

How times have changed...

Nottingham Forest could secure a first league double against Chelsea since 1978-79 with a win today.

Back in September, while still under the stewardship of Steve Cooper, Forest took all three points away from Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Anthony Elanga.

Can they do the same again today? It won't be easy, Chelsea are a different proposition now.

CHO set for 100th PL appearance!

It's a huge day for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The former Chelsea man is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance against the club he started at.

72 of those came in the Blues jersey while he scored four league goals for the club.

Hudson-Odoi seems to have returned to his best at Forest, netting seven times in the league this term.

Can he haunt his old side today?

Chelsea Team news - James on BENCH

We have our answer in writing. As expected, Reece James has been named on the Chelsea bench. It's his first time in a Blues squad since December.

Unsurprisingly, Mauricio Pochettino has decided to name an unchanged side from the one that thumped West Ham 5-0 last week.

That squad looks so much stronger than it has on many occasions this season.

Nottingham Forest Team News - ONE change

Just the one change for Nottingham Forest.

Moussa Niakhate comes in for Anthony Elanga as the solitary swap from the side that beat Sheffield United 3-1 last week.

Taiwo Awoniyi returns to the bench after three months on the sidelines.

James arrives with squad

Look who it is.

Reece James has arrived at the City Ground, so it seems he will be involved in some capacity for the first time since December.

He has a smile on his face, and I think that tells you all you need to know about how he is feeling. I bet it's great to be back.

We will find out the full team news in just a few moments.

West Ham equalise against Luton

I'm sure Nottingham Forest fans will be keeping an eye on this one.

There are currently six 3pm Premier League kick-offs still in action, and one of them involves Forest's relegation rivals, Luton Town.

The Hatters are away at West Ham United and were in dreamland before the break, going 1-0 up inside six minutes through Sambi Lokonga.

However, James Ward-Prowse has just levelled things up for the hosts, which will please Forest fans.

Hosts in the building

Right, it's time to get a little excited.

Anticipation always goes up a little bit when the players arrive for the game. It indicates that kick-off is edging closer.

Well, we are still just over 70 minutes from getting underway, but hopefully that time flies by.

Calm before the storm

Wow, just look at these photos...

The UK has been blessed with glorious weather today, and it is no different in Nottingham.

The City Ground is looking glorious, but quiet. I'm sure that will change in the next few hours.

It will be rocking in just over an hour.

A return to action for Reece James?

Reece James, remember him?

Well, he the Chelsea captain could be returning to action today, he returned to team training in the past week.

This would be a huge boost for the Blues, and for James himself who has had a torrid time of it with injuries this season.

It seems likely that he will be involved in some capacity, especially after he posted on X (formerly Twitter): 'see u @ 5.30 Blues'.

It will be interesting to see if he gets any minutes today.

Battling Forest host rejuvenated Blues

I'm extremely excited about this one.

As I have already said, tonight has huge implications for both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea's seasons.

It's a big test for the west Londoners who have looked like a completely different side in the last few weeks - in a good way.

Confidence has returned to the young stars within the Chelsea ranks and they're finally playing with confidence. Their recent form means they are still in the hunt for Europa League football.

However, today's task is one of the toughest they have faced. Playing against a Forest side fighting for their lives will not be easy.

All the ingredients make this a fascinating clash.

Crunch time at City Ground...

More football? Oh, go on then!

Most matches this time of the season are huge, and it's no different for what we have coming up.

It's a massive game for both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea but for different reasons. Forest remain embroiled in a relegation scrap while the Blues have come from nowhere to challenge for Europe.

With what's at stake, get yourselves strapped in, it could be a rollercoaster of an evening.

Shall we get started on this ride then?
