Chelsea are aiming to end a run of five consecutive league defeats against Nottingham Forest.
A season in which Chelsea have got rid of two managers could yet be bookended with silverware.
Having picked up the World Club Cup last summer, the Blues could add the FA Cup after reaching the final by beating Leeds United at Wembley last weekend.
Before that, they need to build some momentum after a woeful run of league form.
Chelsea were fifth after winning 4-1 at Aston Villa at the beginning of March, but since then they have lost five successive Premier League matches for the first time since 1993.
Worse, it's the first time they have lost five successive league matches without scoring since 1912.
Since the first game of those five – a 1-0 defeat at home by Newcastle on 14 March – 15 Chelsea players have attempted a shot at goal but none have scored.
Despite having the highest expected goals total (29.4) and xG per shot value (0.15) in the Premier League in 2026, Chelsea have the worst differential between goals and xG (-8.4).
Chelsea looked a different side in the semi-final last weekend – fans will hope that is enough to stop the rot. If not, they could lose six league matches in a row for the first time since November 1993, and they have never lost six in succession without scoring in their league history.
Forest may have European silverware on their mind but there's no sign of them taking their eye off the Premier League ball.
The Reds are unbeaten in their past six league matches and have scored nine goals in their past two, timely form in their quest to secure Premier League safety.
Last time out at Sunderland, they were 4-0 up by half-time and went on to win 5-0 – their biggest away win in the top flight since beating Sheffield Wednesday 7-1 in 1995.
That result at the Stadium of Light meant back-to-back Premier League wins for only the second time this season, and for the first time under Vitor Pereira. Another victory at Chelsea would mean a third in a row for the first time since the heady days of last season, when they were Champions League contenders for much of the latter half of the campaign.
One of the key protagonists in their recent good form has been Morgan Gibbs-White, who has scored seven league goals since the start of March, three more than any other player.
His 16 Premier League goal involvements (13 goals and three assists) is already his best return in a top-flight campaign. Twelve of those 16 have come since the turn of the year.
