Chelsea vs nottm forest

Chelsea are looking to break a long-standing home winless streak against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on May 4, 2026. This match at Stamford Bridge carries significant weight for both teams, as Chelsea sits eighth with 48 points while Nottingham Forest is struggling at 16th with just 39 points.

Historically, Chelsea has faced challenges against Nottingham Forest at home. They have not won a Premier League match against them since their return to the top flight in 2022. In fact, Chelsea’s last victory over Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge was back in September 1998.

The pressure is on for Chelsea to secure a much-needed win and improve their standing in the league.

Yet, Nottingham Forest arrives with confidence. They have recently won three of their last four Premier League matches and are aiming for three consecutive wins for the first time since April of last year. Their ability to capitalize on set pieces has been notable; they have scored five goals against Chelsea from such situations since returning to the Premier League.

Chelsea’s defensive struggles have been evident this season; they have conceded 11 goals from corners, matching their highest total in a campaign. As fans gear up for what promises to be an exciting match, all eyes will be on how these two teams perform under pressure at Stamford Bridge.
