VS
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest is a high-profile English matchup with Chelsea holding a broader edge, but Forest have shown they can turn a familiar hierarchy upside down. Chelsea won 3–0 at Forest on 18 October 2025 and 1–0 there on 25 May 2025; Forest answered 3–1 at Stamford Bridge on 4 May 2026. Draws in London and Nottingham add restraint. A new meeting asks whether Chelsea restore control or Forest repeat the upset.

Stats for this game
Matchup Chelsea VS Nottingham Forest
Chelsea carry the stronger reference
Chelsea’s 3–0 win at Nottingham Forest on 18 October 2025 and 1–0 away victory on 25 May 2025 support a clear edge. They had also won 2–0 at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup on 5 January 2020 and 5–1 there in the League Cup on 20 September 2017. Those results establish Chelsea’s benchmark without proving that every meeting belongs to the favourite.
Forest have changed the script
Nottingham Forest won 1–0 at Chelsea on 2 September 2023 and 3–1 at Stamford Bridge on 4 May 2026. Draws at Chelsea on 6 October 2024 and at Forest on 1 January 2023 add another layer, showing that the margin can disappear as well as widen. Chelsea’s task in a new meeting is to turn home pressure or possession into a safer result; Forest’s is to repeat the direct response that made the 2026 win so significant.
