At 00:30 Beijing time on May 12, 2024, the 37th round of the English Premier League will start a key battle, and Chelsea will come to challenge Nottingham Forest away. Who will die in this game? I'm going to give you some brief analysis of this game below.
Nottingham Forest, who play at home, currently sit 17th in the Premier League and still have 29 points despite being deducted four points after 36 rounds. At present, Nottingham Forest is only three points ahead of the league's promoted Madrid, Luton Town, and there is still a lot of relegation pressure. In the last round of the league, Nottingham Forest came back from behind to beat bottom side Sheffield United 3-1, with Callum Hudson-Odoi netting twice and Yates also on the scoresheet. However, the team's record in the last 5 league games is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, and only 4 league points have been obtained. In terms of form, Nottingham Forest are more average.
Away from home, Chelsea found their form at the end of the season, beating in-form West Ham United 5-0 in the last round to make it two wins in a row. Chelsea have kept clean sheets in each of their last two games and have scored seven goals to show their attacking firepower. Chelsea have also overtaken the Red Devils to move up to seventh in the league and will secure a European place next season if they maintain their current league position. In order to retain their European places, the Blues will be looking to win on the road. In terms of personnel, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino, Reece James, who have been plagued by injuries this season, is likely to be in the squad for this game.
All things considered, this game is crucial for both teams, with Nottingham Forest looking to pick up points to secure relegation and Chelsea looking to do everything they can to secure their European places. Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last three Premier League meetings with one win and two draws, showing their ability to resist Chelsea. Especially in the first leg of this season, Nottingham Forest won 1-0 away. Judging from the desire of both sides to fight, I personally prefer that the two teams will win and lose this game.
