The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Nottingham Forest lock horns with Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side in an important encounter at the City Ground on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Preview
Chelsea are currently in seventh place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Blues edged Liverpool to a crucial 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to make an impact this year. The home side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
