Nottingham Forest - Form analysis: relegation seems likely
"The Tricky Trees" managed to finally make it to the Premier League last season but struggled to stay there. The influx of new signings then resulted in deducted points as a penalty. Recently, their performances under Nuno Espirito Santo have been lackluster. They failed to beat a demotivated Wolverhampton and lost not only to Tottenham and Manchester City but crucially to their direct competitor, Everton. Fortunately, they managed to finish with a 3-1 win over a weak Sheffield United.
Chelsea - Form analysis: uncertain performances
"The Blues" had contrasting results recently, thrashing Everton 6-0 but suffering a 0-5 defeat to Arsenal within a week. However, in their recent matches, they have shown promise. Despite losing in the cup semifinal despite creating more chances than City, they managed to salvage a draw against Aston Villa who led 2-0 and scored a couple of unanswered goals against Tottenham. Their 5-goal victory over West Ham also stands out.
