Chelsea will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Bournemouth.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Bournemouth, who had 10 shots on goal with 4 on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.

Nottingham Forest will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 4-3 winners in their home fixture against Southampton.  They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Southampton's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Steve Cooper, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 14 games overall.  

Nottingham Forest will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 7 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 8 games.  

On an individual basis, Danilo dos Santos has scored in each of Nottingham Forest's last league game.
