Talking points

• Despite a negative start of the 2022-23 season that led American owner Todd Boehly to appoint Graham Potter as new coach and sack Thomas Tuchel, the Blues are still in a position where they can hope to fight for the top four places. However, they desperately need to score more points now after the World Cup break and started off well by winning 2-0 against Bournemouth. 
• During the match against Bournemouth, Chelsea’s right-back Reece James was injured again, as confirmed by the club’s statement later on Wednesday: “Reece James underwent assessment earlier today, scan results confirmed a setback with Reece set to be ruled out for up to a month”, Chelsea confirmed. As reported by CBS Sports soccer insider Fabrizio Romano, the club will likely look for a new right-back in the upcoming winter transfer window that will kick off on Jan. 2. 
• In the meantime, Chelsea have confirmed the signing of young striker David Datro Fofana from Molde for around €12 million. The 20 years-old will join the English side at the beginning of January. 

Prediction 

Chelsea want to win their second game in a row and are definitely the favorites against Nottingham Forest and should get all three points. Pick: Chelsea 1, Nottingham Forest 0
