Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last seven Premier League games against Chelsea (D3 L3), beating them 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in September 2023.

Chelsea won this exact fixture 3-2 last season. Only once have they won consecutive away league games against Nottingham Forest, beating them 3-2 in February 1912 and then 4-0 over 10 years later (December 1922).

Nottingham Forest have won 19 Premier League matches this season, more than they did in 2022-23 and 2023-24 combined (18). They last won 20+ games in 1994-95 (22), while they’ve never done so in a 38-game top-flight season.

Nottingham Forest beat Burnley 2-1 in their final game of 2023-24. They’ve not won their last league game in consecutive campaigns since 2015-16/2016-17, while they last did so as a top-flight side in 1989-90/1990-91.

Chelsea are winless on the last three occasions they’ve ended their Premier League campaign with an away game, losing 3-0 v Newcastle in 2017-18, drawing 0-0 at Leicester in 2018-19 and losing 2-1 at Aston Villa in 2020-21.

Even if they lose this match, Nottingham Forest are guaranteed their highest Premier League finish since 1994-95, when they came 3rd. Should results go their way on the final day, they could potentially reach the European Cup for the first time since the 1980-81 campaign, when they did so as reigning European champions.

Chris Wood has scored 20 Premier League goals this season, the most by a Nottingham Forest player in a season since Stan Collymore scored 22 in 1994-95. Wood has also scored four goals in five starts in his team’s final game of a season, netting two against former club Burnley in 2023-24.

Cole Palmer has created 87 chances in the Premier League this season, the most by a Chelsea player since Mason Mount in 2020-21 (87), with Eden Hazard in 2018-19 the last player with more (98).
