'Wilted away' - Mark Lawrenson backs up brutal Nottingham Forest verdict with Chelsea prediction

Pundit Mark Lawrenson has tipped Chelsea to beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on New Year's Day.

Forest currently sit in 19th place and host a Chelsea side who occupy eighth spot in the Premier League table. While the Reds have suffered some difficult results this year, Lawrenson thinks this match will be a competitive one.

He has backed Chelsea to pick up the three points, though, and thinks Graham Potter and his team will pick up a 2-1 win against Steve Cooper's men. Chelsea "have enough" despite the victory despite missing a number of players through injury.
