‘I think’: Gary Neville gives his honest prediction for Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

Chelsea have a chance to put themselves very close to securing European football when they take on Nottingham Forest tomorrow.

The Blues currently sit 7th in the table, which as it stands is enough to see them playing in Europe next season.

However, it would only be the Europa Conference League, with the owners reportedly demanding Europa League as a minimum achievement.

This means there is still work to do for Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, and he remains under pressure for the final three games of the season.

They start their quest to move into the top six tomorrow evening at the City Ground, against a Nottingham Forest side eager to secure their place in the league for next season.

Their form has been boosted by the recent good showings of former Chelsea man Callum Hudson-Odoi, who will be no doubt hungry to show the Blues what they’re missing out on.

Gary Neville predicts Chelsea and Nottingham Forest to draw

Gary Neville was asked on the latest episode of Stick to Football how he thinks the game will go, and he did not predict all three points would be heading back to West London.

He said: “I think it’s a draw. I think it’s a 1-1.”

Forest looking to do double over Chelsea

Forest will be looking to do the double over Chelsea this season after they picked up a win at Stamford Bridge in the early weeks of the campaign.

The game saw the Blues miss plenty of chances in front of goal, with Nicolas Jackson in particular guilty of missing a huge opportunity late on.

The match will also go down as the first time Chelsea fans got a glimpse of Cole Palmer after his deadline day move last summer.

While he didn’t make any impact on the scoreline off the bench, he certainly showed the potential many have gone on to see this season at Stamford Bridge.
