We simulated Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea ahead of crucial Premier League clash

Chelsea continue their hunt for a European spot this weekend, as they travel to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are unbeaten since the Blues' 5-0 defeat at Arsenal, and have won their last two games on the bounce, scoring seven without conceding a single goal, putting them ahead of Manchester United in the table and in contention for a place in Europe next season.

But just before halftime, it did eventually come through a familiar source, with Cole Palmer finding the net with a great finish, after being played in on goal by Jackson after an impressive attacking move.

But after the half time break, Chelsea lost control and the game's momentum flipped on its
