Chelsea predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest - Premier League
By Sean Walsh
Chelsea will look to chalk up their first home win under the caretaker stewardship of Frank Lampard this Saturday when Nottingham Forest come to town.
A miserable run of six straight losses came to an end last weekend when the Blues defeated Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
They haven't tasted victory at Stamford Bridge since 7 March when they eliminated Borussia Dortmund from the Champions League. With high-flying Newcastle the final visitors on the last day of the season, this serves as their best chance to get one before the summer.
Here's how Chelsea could line up.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest
GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - While Kepa's spot between the sticks is safe for now, 90min understands that Chelsea are eyeing a new goalkeeper this summer, with Andre Onana, Diogo Costa and David Raya among their targets.
RB: Trevoh Chalobah - The academy graduate has become one of Chelsea's more dependable players in recent weeks. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere.
CB: Thiago Silva - Chelsea fans will unfurl banners honouring the Brazilian for his services to the club ahead of this match.
CB: Benoit Badiashile - The decision to not include the defender in their Champions League squad looks stranger by the week considering his impressive displays.
LB: Cesar Azpilucueta - Ben Chilwell is out for the season and Marc Cucurella is working his way back from injury, meaning we might see Azpilicueta roll back the years with a performance at left-back.

CM: Enzo Fernandez - Still has plenty to prove to justify the nine-figure sum Chelsea paid to sign him in January, but there are at least positive signs.
CM: N'Golo Kante - Reports suggest the midfielder already shares something of a 'bromance' with Mauricio Pochettino ahead of his likely appointment as manager.
CM: Conor Gallagher - Who knew that Gallagher would be more a goal threat when running from deep as opposed to starting as an actual striker?
RW: Noni Madueke - Set to be one of the main beneficiaries from the appointment of a coach that encourages the development of young players like Pochettino.
CF: Kai Havertz - Still not everyone's cup of tea but at least he isn't a hologram up front like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
LW: Mykhailo Mudryk - Still searching for his first Chelsea goal after drawing a blank in his first 15 games.
