Nottingham Forest host Chelsea at the City Ground on Saturday in a crucial Premier League clash that could define Ange Postecoglou's early reign. The Australian boss, who is yet to record a win in seven games since taking charge, faces growing pressure after a poor run of form. Many expected him to be sacked during the international break, but the club opted for continuity, giving him another chance to turn things around.
As reported by SoftFootball, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has called his side a legendary and enormous club , words that reflect the contrasting energy between both camps heading into this tie.
The Blues, meanwhile, come into the fixture high on confidence after a 2-1 victory over Liverpool before the break, where Moises Caicedo's thunderbolt and Estevo's late strike sealed the win, a result covered in detail by SoftFootball's match report . With Chelsea's injury list still long, Maresca will hope that his team can carry that same resilience on the road, even as his own touchline ban keeps him in the stands.
