Chelsea Seek End to Five-Game Losing Streak Against In-Form Forest

Chelsea host Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Monday May 4, looking to end a five-game Premier League losing streak in their first league match since Liam Rosenior's departure. Interim head coach Calum McFarlane, who began his second spell in charge with victory in the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds, could welcome back Reece James and Levi Colwill from injury. A win could lift the Blues back into European contention, potentially up to sixth place depending on weekend results.

Nottingham Forest arrive in strong form, unbeaten in the Premier League since March 4 with three wins and three draws from their last six games. Vitor Pereira's side sit five points clear of the relegation zone with four games remaining. Forest also hold a 1-0 advantage over Aston Villa in their Europa League semi-final first leg, having one foot in the final.

Sky Sports predicts a 2-2 draw, with Morgan Gibbs-White particularly dangerous—he's scored seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances and could be pushing for an England World Cup squad spot. These teams last met in October when Chelsea secured a 3-0 victory at the City Ground.
