How to watch Nottingham Forest v ChelseaLive on TNT Sports 1.
Forest have had a torrid time to start the 2025 Premier League season. Disagreements between owner Evangelos Marinakis and Nuno Espirito Santo saw the fan favourite manager dismissed just three games into the new season. But with the ever-controversial Ange Postecoglou appointed successor, things have only got worse for Forest. The side hasn’t won a game since the opening weekend and sit 17th in the league table. Can they set things right this weekend?
NOTTINGHAM FOREST LEAGUE FORM:LOSS: Newcastle 2-0 Forest, 5th October 2025LOSS: Forest 2-3 Midtjylland, 2nd October 2025LOSS: Forest 0-1 Sunderland, 27th September 2025
Chelsea will be feeling more optimistic, having taken 11 points from their first seven games to sit 7th in the league table. The Blues are coming off an incredible win over Liverpool, with a last-minute goal from youngster Estêvão securing all three points against the reigning champions. However, Chelsea have suffered from a slew of injuries this season, with star man Cole Palmer potentially set to be joined by yet more players on the injury list. They will not be at full strength this weekend and will need to be on their game if they are to get a result against a desperate Forest side.

Visitors Chelsea come into this clash on good form and are currently favoured in Spreadex’s fixed-odds markets. The Blues are priced at 10/11 to win the game, or 5/6 in our 2-Up Early Payout market, which pays out if your team goes two goals up at any time during the game.
Forest will be the underdogs in this one. They haven’t won since August, and their head-to-head record against Chelsea isn’t great either. The hosts have won only one of the ten matches between the two sides this century! They are currently priced at 27/10 to win the game or 12/5 in our 2-Up Early Payout market. You can also back a draw at 11/4.

We also offer a number of spread betting markets for Saturday’s clash, including our “Goal Supremacy” market. This market currently has Chelsea favoured by 0.45-0.65 goals. This means that if you placed a “buy” bet, you would need Chelsea to win to start turning a profit. A one-goal victory for Chelsea would win you 0.35 times your stake, a two-goal win 1.35 times your stake, and so on.
However, if you bought and Chelsea drew or lost the game, you would lose money. Here, a one-goal loss would cost you 1.65 times your stake, a two-goal loss 2.65 times your stake, etc.
You can also bet on the total number of goals scored during the game with our Total Goals market. This is currently set at 2.9-3.1. If you’re expecting a high-scoring game, you would “buy” and would need at least four total goals to turn a profit. Alternatively, if you expect the defences to be on top, you could “sell” and would need two goals or fewer to turn a profit.
If you sold and the game ended 1-0, as it did the last time the sides met, you would win 1.9 times your stake. However, if you sold and the game ended 6-0, you would lose 3.1 times your stake. It’s important to remember that when spread betting, if your bet loses, you can lose multiples of your stake, so be sure to choose appropriate stake sizes for each market.

Chelsea have scored in all but one of their games this season and Forest have conceded in all of their matches. However, Forest were a solid defensive unit in 2024, and Chelsea are missing some of their best attackers. If you expect Forest to keep Chelsea goalless, you can back the visitors to score under 0.5 goals at 4/1.
