Finishing opportunities up front has proved a particular problem for the west Londoners of late, with Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling tied as the team’s top scorers this season on five goals apiece: Sunday’s fixture falls almost three years to the day since these teams last met in any competition, while it will be the first time since 1999 that they’ve faced off under league conditions. An out-of-tune Chelsea has struggled to fire on all cylinders so far this Premier League campaign, but the Blues travel to Nottingham Forest on New Year’s Day with a chance to turn a fresh leaf.

football.london understands that the Blues are in the market for a new striker, central midfielder, I have to make the [team selection] decision based on what I think every day in training and Kai is a German International who scores goals and plays for the German national team, and looking at his goal record there, it is elite level. With the period that we've had, we've had to adapt a few things. The players are multifaceted in terms of their qualities so they can play in a few positions. He can drop in but he can also threaten the backline and he can score. I want to play the most games I can. Graham Potter will be hoping for Chelsea to start 2023 as well as they ended 2022 with a clean sheet and three points to build some momentum following the return of domestic football. You can't do anything about the price tag and all that goes with that, and there's an expectation, but he's still a young player that's learning the game and has fantastic quality. Chelsea are closing in on the signing of talented youngster Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama. I want to play every game. Narrowing that gap will be high on Potter's agenda for the new year. Steve Cooper's side will be hoping to bounce back from a tough defeat.

The passionate home fans have been less than kind about the performance of referee Peter Bankes as they try to will their team onto a memorable comeback that would help them escape the top-flight’s dreaded relegation zone. Raheem Sterling’s early goal initially proved the difference to quieten a raucous atmosphere at the [City Ground](/topic/city-ground), firing home from close range after Willy Boly had somehow flicked Christian Pulisic’s ball onto his own crossbar.

[Chelsea](https://www.theguardian.com/football/chelsea) both move up a place, to 18th and 8th respectively. Boly won the second ball and headed it towards Aurier, lurking with intent on the left side of the six-yard box. 67 min Forest have been outstanding since the break – and they’ve shown that they have more than one way to skin a defence. 75 min “Donut Mystery,” is the subject of Joe Pearson’s email (and the name of my solo jazztronica project). “I think the word in question (58 min) is ‘gogosar’. 68 min Lodi’s awkward cross is controlled superbly by Awoniyi at the near post, but he then mishits a left-footed shot. They certainly don’t look right at the moment, and it’s slightly strange to think that they are the current world club champions because they are palpably in transition. 87 min Gibbs-White, such a classy, elusive player, slips Gallagher neatly in midfield to lead another Forest break.

On the basis of that, a point is the least we deserve. "They used the atmosphere and, certainly in the second half, put us under a lot of pressure. "Our performance level wasn’t good enough to take the three points.

Time to call this out - the game is live on Sky Sports. The matter will be fully investigated."

But the Blues were forced to accept a point that does far less for their hopes of finishing in the top four than it does for Forest’s chances of avoiding a return to the Championship. But Graham Potter's side produced a dreadful display in the second 45 minutes that saw them hand the initiative to Forest and leave themselves eighth in the Premier League before a daunting trip to Manchester City on Thursday.

Chelsea Pride, the London club’s LGBTQ supporters group, described the chanting as a “hate crime”. “We’re tired of trying to explain to the uneducated why the chant is wrong on all levels, we’re not tired of fighting for equality and inclusion.” Forest’s LGBTQ supporters group said they were “embarrassed and ashamed”.
