Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has named the same side that started last week’s 3-0 Premier League win over Luton Town at Stamford Bridge.
It means new signing Cole Palmer is made to wait for his debut. He’s among the substitutes along with Mykhailo Mudryk, who is available for selection again.
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has made one change from the team that lost 3-2 to Manchester United in the Premier League last time out.
Orel Mangala is fit to start for the visitors and replaces Brennan Johnson, who left the club on Deadline Day. New signing Nuno Tavares is on the bench.
