Kepa Arrizabalaga - The Spanish goalkeeper stood up well to Nottingham Forest's first chances to deny Brennan Johnson after the forward left Chelsea's defenders flat-footed. A decent outing again from the goalkeeper. 7.
Cesar Azpilicueta - Chelsea's captain was once again given the difficult task of replacing Reece James and will always be tested in doing so. Had moments of struggle but mostly did what was necessary. 6.
Kalidou Koulibaly - Was posed a number of problems by Taiwo Awoniyi but battled throughout the game and showed some passing ability too. Fortunate not to receive a first half yellow card and may have to do more to keep Trevoh Chalobah out of the team much longer. 5.
