Chelsea will look to continue their sparking form at home to Nottingham Forest as they return to Premier League duty this weekend.
Enzo Maresca made a number of changes to his side for Thursday’s Europa Conference League meeting with Gent but is expected to return to a more regular starting XI.
Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia were all omitted from the European squad with the latter making his return off the bench last weekend in the win over Brighton after a recent hamstring issue.
Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho have emerged as Maresca’s first-choice wide options in recent weeks and will be expected to retain their places after also being rested midweek.
Reece James meanwhile has hinted he is edging ever closer to making his return after another hamstring problem delayed his start to the season.
Maresca however is unlikely to take any risks with his captain’s return to the side Malo Gusto starting the season well at right-back.
How Chelsea could line up this weekend…
The Blues have an otherwise clean bill of health as they seek to keep pace with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the table.
Predicted Chelsea XI to face Nottingham Forest
Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson
