We asked AI to predict the result when Chelsea make the trip to play against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Enzo Maresca‘s side comes out of the international break worrying about their squad fitness somewhat, as it was confirmed over the break that Cole Palmer’s injury is expected to be worse than initially feared. Furthermore, Liam Delap remains injured, and they also have a lack of fit options at centre-back.
However, Chelsea did win their last game before the break, 2-1 against Liverpool, and they go up against a Nottingham Forest side who are yet to win against under under-pressure manager, Ange Postecoglou.
Maresca will hope his side can pile the pressure on the former Spurs boss even more by beating Forest at the City Ground. If they do, it could push them up to third in the Premier League table. Ahead of the game, we asked ChatGPT AI to predict the result on Saturday and predict who would score, this is what it said…
AI prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Chelsea

AI predicted that Chelsea would make it two 2-1 wins in a row after the international break, with what could be a tight game according to the prediction.
It did say that Chelsea are the heavy favourites to win, but Forest could cause them problems via a set-piece. Forest’s goal is predicted to come from a set-piece with striker Chris Wood being the scorer for Postecoglou’s side.
Meanwhile, AI claimed that in the absence of Palmer, Chelsea’s goals would come from Joao Pedro and Estevao, who have been two of the Blues’ best players so far this season. A 2-1 result would be Chelsea’s third win in a row in all competitions ahead of their next game, a Champions League meeting with Dutch side Ajax on Wednesday.
Estevao dealing with a flu ahead of Forest game
AI predicted that the Brazilian winger would score on Saturday, but it did look as though the winger could miss the game against Forest, as he has reportedly been dealing with a flu whilst on international duty with Brazil.
However, he featured as a substitute during Brazil’s 3-2 defeat against Japan on Monday night, and so looks fully fit for Chelsea at the weekend, which is a huge boost for Maresca amid his current injury worries with other players.
