Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira has some thinking to do ahead of Monday’s clash with Chelsea.
The Portuguese head coach has overseen nine consecutive unbeaten games in all competitions, and Forest still have a lot to play for in the Premier League and Europa League.
Forest go to Chelsea with the second leg of the Europa League semi-final on their minds, with the Reds taking a 1-0 lead to Villa Park on Thursday.
Ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge, we’ve looked at a slightly rotated starting eleven that Pereira could deploy to still trouble Chelsea.

How Vitor Pereira should line Nottingham Forest up vs Chelsea
Matz Sels should return between the posts for this one, given that he’s been considered the number one for the Premier League campaign.
Across the back four, there could be one change, with Luca Netz coming in for Ola Aina and Neco Williams switching to right-back.

Let us know what changes you would make?
In midfield, it’s not anticipated that Ibrahim Sangare will be back, so perhaps Ryan Yates will come into midfield with Elliot Anderson to partner him.
Chris Wood might also get the chance to rest against Chelsea, and that could see Igor Jesus lead the line, with Morgan Gibbs-White utilised back in the number 10.
Nicolas Dominguez might go back to operating on the flank as Pereira looks to take care of things out of possession against the Blues.
Omari Hutchinson should continue on the right, with the former Ipswich man looking much better in recent weeks.
