Through Cucurella, Chelsea once again overcame Manchester United thanks to the Spanish defender. The Blues have now won six of seven matches, and their participation in next season's Champions League depends on beating Nottingham Forest at City Ground.

Without a doubt, of the 10 matches taking place on Sunday, the one with the most at stake will be the clash between Tricky Trees and the Blues. Nottingham Forest had a great season but plummeted in the table in the final stretch of the season. They are assured of at least playing in the next UEFA Conference League, but that's not enough considering they fought for second place in the Premier League for a long time.

They can still dream of returning to the Champions League, thanks to their 2-1 win over West Ham in London on Matchday 37. They deciphered the Londoners' defense so much that they generated five big chances. Serbian Milenkovic scored a goal and was one of the best players in that match.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Prediction

Without Fofana and Kellyman and playing a European final next Wednesday, Chelsea faces this decisive Premier League match. Nuno Espirito Santo's side salvaged a draw at Stamford Bridge. It was a highly contested match, riddled with fouls, so much so that the referee handed out 11 yellow cards. Our prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea is: Under 2.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Under 2.5
