Chelsea will be looking to maintain the pressure on the top three in the Premier League when they host Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. All three of the leading teams won on Saturday, although none were without problems.

Liverpool squeezed past Crystal Palace 1-0 in the early kick-off but were somewhat fortunate not to concede a late penalty. Manchester City and Arsenal, meanwhile, both had to come from behind in home matches with Fulham and Southampton.

Chelsea will go back to two points off top sport with a win over Nuno Espirito Santo's side, but it will not be easy, with Forest only just coming off the back of their first defeat of the season against Fulham last time out.

There are bound to be changes from Enzo Maresca, as he looks to rotate his squad having seen the Blues beat Gent in the Conference League on Thursday night.

Here football.london takes a look at who we think will be in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon...
