It's the penultimate home game of the season,
and for Chelsea, that means the visit of a lesser spotted opponent in recent years.
Frank Lampard makes five changes from the team that started at Bournemouth last week.
Edouard Mendy plays for Chelsea for the first time since before the World Cup.
Lewis Hall features for the first time since January.
He's in for the injured Ben Chilwell.
Elsewhere, Mateo Kovacic replaces N'Golo Kante,
whilst Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix come into the front three
with Mikhailo Mudrik and Kai Havertz, both dropping to the bench.
Just the one change for Forrest from the team that started the win against Southampton on Monday,
but it's a big one.
Top scorer Brennan Johnson drops to the bench.
Captain Joe Worrell is his replacement.
Forrest nominally free at the back,
but expect Aurier and Loddy to do more defending than attacking.
Morgan Gibbs-White is the one to watch.
He's got three goals and two assists in his last five games.
He's played here before, actually,
before it let's go into the Champions League to swing us in.
Good ball as well, and Felipe attacked it at the near post.
He's just made the run, no-one near him, gets across the near post.
Look at him.
Really strange decision, looking at it again.
Danilo, that was for Loddy.
One-knee the target in the middle, Gibbs-White's in there as well,
and Loddy's got his head to it, and he's netted Forrest in front.
Out of nothing, really, simple ball into the penalty area.
It's an early ball in, nothing special, the delivery,
the one he wanted to win it, and he won it.
Out of position, but Mendy, for me, full blame.
He's come for a ball, he's actually gone two-handed,
I think he could have gone one, he might have got there.
But poor defending from him.
Sterling's in behind here.
Direct from Gibbs-White, Mendy has to catch the ball from under his own bar.
Not as far as Loddy will hit it.
He dealt with that better, Mendy, that'll do him good,
give him a bit of confidence, and there's no reaction from players
to sprint forward and get into a good position, great skills.
Looking for a cross, good delivery as well!
Felix looked as though it was bound for the net.
This is old-school football, it's brilliant to watch.
Great little nutmegs on the full-back, you suck him in, you nutmeg him,
you take a touch, you get your head up, you look in the middle,
pick someone out, dive in, head up, top corner.
Not quite, but it was lovely to watch.
It's a testing one, oh, Niokate couldn't get the touch to make it two.
Very lucky not to give him a second goal there.
OK, good run here from Chalabert, can he pick out Felix or anybody else?
Raheem Sterling with 1-1.
Action on his way in, took it through, but Chelsea are back level.
Sterling scores against Boris for the second time this season.
He's had to think about it, great play by Trevor initially to get in position,
maybe a little bit of luck and then it comes his way.
But I tell you what, his concentration is excellent,
gets great contact here, Raheem Sterling.
And with the deflection, even if he didn't get it, I think he's still going in.
Chelsea have managed to get an equaliser, just what we needed.
Bravery, whip and a bend.
I think Gilles Felix thought that Dario Silva was going to get this,
and I think he's sort of ducked into it in the last moment.
This is Chelsea's best...
A bit of a trick here to get a nutmeg, Raheem keeps the ball alive.
Short backlift, just behind that top corner if he could.
Decent strike, good pace on the shot.
Chelsea have turned this game around.
He's certainly done it, he's seen an opportunity here.
Great run by Raheem initially to take it into wide position.
I think Forest are their own enemies here,
going to ground too early, getting dragged out of position all over the place.
The space was for Raheem to bury it into that far side netting.
And it takes no prisoners here, does he?
He just wants to put it in.
It's a nice finish, no chance at all.
Back in, it's close!
The assistant didn't look at all.
That long throw's caused a problem.
Just didn't deal with it.
He's only on the spot, as they say.
It's the centre forward, that's where you need to be.
Sees his chance.
Oh, what a ball that is!
And Sterling to the left, gets it over.
Here's Gallagher.
Pujato in a really clumsy challenge.
Gallagher, straight to Navas, that might be that.
He was just about to blow there, the referee, from free kick on Gallagher.
But he stays on his feet.
It finishes all square, a terrific second half.
Here, after a pretty flat first in which Forrest were in front.
But Chelsea turned that round in double quick fashion.
And Raheem Sterling-Brace, in the space of nine minutes, had the Blues ahead.
But shortly after that, Taiwo Aonui got his second of the game.
And that's how it finished.
