Chelsea will be determined to extend their winning streak when they return to action this weekend. Nottingham Forest will face the Blues at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon as Mauricio Pochettino targets Europa League qualification.
The West Londoners will be keen to pick up from where they left off on Sunday when they put five past West Ham. Chelsea have now leapfrogged Manchester United, climbing to seventh in the Premier League table.
As for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, they enjoyed a 3-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday, with Callum Hudson-Odoi of all players striking a rich vein of form. Many expect Nottingham Forest to head into the tie with fire in their belly and a chip on their shoulder after their point-deduction appeal was rejected.
While they’re not currently in the drop zone, relegation certainly remains a possibility. So, ahead of chaotic clash, football.london has looked at all the latest injury news and updates from Stamford Bridge.
