Chelsea, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, are aiming for their sixth consecutive victory across all competitions when they welcome Nottingham Forest to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Recent Success and Opponent’s Struggles
The Blues have been on a roll, securing two impressive 4-2 wins over Brighton & Hove Albion and Gent within a week. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest faced a setback, losing 1-0 to Fulham in their latest Premier League match.
Cole Palmer Shines and Chelsea Share the Glory
In Chelsea’s Premier League triumph against Brighton, Cole Palmer stole the show, scoring four goals in one half, making Premier League history. When Gent visited for a Europa Conference League match on Thursday, Chelsea players shared the spotlight, with goals from Renato Veiga, Pedro Neto, Christopher Nkunku, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Despite Gent’s consolation goal, which was assisted by the son of former Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen, Chelsea dominated, showing no signs of sentimentality.
Chelsea’s Champions League Push
This winning run, which includes three Premier League victories over Bournemouth, West Ham United, and Brighton, has propelled Chelsea firmly into Champions League contention. For a team that’s been out of the top four for the last couple of years, they are now competing closely with Liverpool and Arsenal at the top of the table. Heading into gameweek seven, Chelsea’s tally of 15 goals boasts the best attacking record in the league.
A Lethal Chelsea Attack
Chelsea’s attack has been firing on all cylinders, netting an impressive 16 goals in their last four matches. Whatever training Maresca and his staff are implementing, it’s working wonders. With a shot conversion rate of 20.3%, Chelsea leads the Premier League in efficiency.
Concerns Over Benoit Badiashile
Despite Chelsea’s overall form, there’s been concern over Benoit Badiashile’s recent performances, especially after his poor showing against Gent. Fans have voiced their frustrations, urging Maresca to drop him for the Nottingham Forest game.
Fan Reactions to Badiashile’s Form
Here’s what some fans have been saying:
- “Please don’t use him tomorrow, don’t waste our three points.”
- “Even a loan move is better, he shouldn’t be here.”
- “Badiashile is playing himself onto the sell list. Unfortunate.”
- “Just sell him in January, good move.”
- “I don’t know how he’s made it as a professional footballer.”
- “Badiashile is the most useless defender I’ve ever seen.”
While Maresca’s side is riding high, decisions about player form will be crucial as Chelsea continue their pursuit of success on multiple fronts.
