Preview
Given that Chelsea currently third in the Premier League, whilst upcoming opponents Nottingham are currently 10th in the Championship, it goes without saying that Antonio Conte will definitely rotate his squad for this fixture. In short, this game will be nothing short of a formality. With Chelsea competing on four fronts, including the Champions League, and coming into this game having struggled to make inroads against Arsenal last weekend, Conte will want to keep his squad as fresh as possible for more challenging tasks ahead.
The hosts will have to make do without David Luiz after he was sent off during the scoreless stalemate against the Gunners, whilst Pedro is in major doubt after seemingly suffering a leg injury. Danny Drinkwater is a definite absentee for this game, but Eden Hazard is set to start. Other players who could feature include youngsters like Charly Musonda and Kenedy.
As for the visitors, they will be missing Matthew Cash, Chris Cohen and Jamie Ward for this game, making an already difficult task that much more daunting.
