15:47 BST – Jesse Derry is the man who is still down at the moment. The stretcher is coming out for him. Forest’s Zach Abbott is up and about again.
15:46 BST – PENALTY! Chelsea have been pushing forward well and they get a penalty after a coming together in the box. There’s a bit of a delay though, as both players look like they came out of that clash badly.
15:32 BST – Chelsea have now conceded 10 goals inside the first 15 minutes of the first half in Premier League games this season. Only soon-to-be-relegated Burnley (13) have conceded more.
15:15 BST – GOAL! Dream start for Forest! Gusto got hold of Awoniyi’s shirt in the box, and after a look at the monitor following a call from VAR, the referee points to the spot. Igor Jesus puts his hand up to take the penalty and duly converts to make it 2-0. Chelsea’s European aspirations are in tatters as things stand.
15:05: BST – What will this man have made of that early goal from a potential relegation rival?
15:02 BST – GOAL! What do we have here?! Forest have taken a ridiculously early lead! After a good start from the visitors, Awoniyi is the man to find the back of the net with a header from Bakwa’s cross to make it 1-0 at Stamford Bridge. Awoniyi scored after just 1:37 – unsurprisingly the fastest goal for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this season.
15:00 BST – And we’re away in London!
14:50 BST – We are just 10 minutes away from kick-off at Stamford Bridge. Can Chelsea reignite their pursuit of European football? Or will Forest take a giant stride towards Premier League safety?
14:27 BST – Seems like so long ago now, but the reverse fixture between Chelsea and Forest was the final straw in terms of Ange Postecoglou’s time in charge of the latter. Here’s a reminder of how that game played out.
14:11 BST – Here’s a little reminder of how things look at the top and bottom of the table, which mostly concerns Nottingham Forest and Manchester City.

Starting XIsFlashscore
12:25 BST – Chelsea’s season is in grave danger of completely fizzling out as they start the day in ninth, with interim boss Calum McFarlane looking to end a five-game losing run in the league.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, have hit a rich vein of form to now sit three points clear of the relegation zone and know a positive result today can move them closer to safety.
12:00 BST – Good afternoon and happy Early May Bank Holiday!
The Premier League show rolls on with two games today, starting with an unusual Monday 15:00 BST kick-off as Chelsea play Nottingham Forest.
The Blues’ European hopes are fading having lost five in a row, while Forest aren’t out of the relegation woods just yet, but have been boosted by winning the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.
Later at 20:00 BST, Manchester City travel to Everton playing catch-up to Arsenal, who currently hold a six-point lead at the top since the Citizens’ last league outing.

11:35 BST – Here’s a quick run-down of the state of play for today’s fixtures:
Ipswich face QPR, knowing that a win will see them promoted back to the Premier League. If they draw, they must hope Millwall fail to win, and Middlesbrough don’t win by more than five goals.
A loss for the Tractor Boys would mean they have to hope Millwall also lose, and Boro don’t win.
Millwall must win to have a chance of promotion. A draw against already-relegated Oxford will be no good due to their inferior goal difference.
Likewise, Middlesbrough have to win and hope that Millwall, at best, draw and Ipswich lose.
Championship top fiveFlashscore
In the play-off picture, Wrexham will secure sixth place with a win – as long as Hull don’t also win by more goals than they do.
Derby could leapfrog both sides even with just a draw, as long as those above them both lose.
A big victory for Hull could see them return to the top six, while a draw will be enough if Wrexham lose and Derby fail to win.
