Awoniyi will make history if he scores against the Blues and becomes the first African player to score in eight straight Premier League games.

After scoring in the second minute against Manchester United last weekend, the 26-year-old tied the previous mark held by Emmanuel Adebayor and Mohamed Salah by scoring in his seventh straight game.

Nottingham Forest threw away a two-goal lead to lose the game 3-2.

The Nigeria international has also scored nine goals in his last seven Premier League games.

The forward scored a brace when Forest visited Stamford Bridge in May.
