Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: Starting XIs, confirmed team news for Premier League clash | OneFootball

Enzo Maresca has named his Chelsea side to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Chelsea head to the City Ground for their first game back from the October international break, with Maresca's side aiming to claim a third successive win in all competitions.

A huge 2-1 win over Liverpool, courtesy of a stoppage time winner from Estevao Willian, has given the Blues a huge confidence boost amidst all of their injury problems.

Estevao's winner sees Maresca sidelined for Saturday's fixture. He will serve a one-match touchline ban after accepting an FA charge earlier this week.

Chelsea face an under pressure Ange Postecoglou, who is on the brink of an early exit from Nottingham Forest. They are without a league win in their last five games (D1, L4) and Chelsea could win three consecutive away games against Forest for the time time.

“Unfortunately this is a business where you need to win games,” said Maresca ahead of Saturday's clash. "It’s for Ange, it’s for any manager in the world. If you don’t win games, unfortunately it’s our job, you’re under pressure."

Meanwhile, responding to growing pressure, Postecoglou said: "Some look at the weeds but I look at what is growing. I am really excited as I have a group of young players willing to change. I am not wasting my time on what people think."

Now it's down to Chelsea to overcome their injury problems once again and deliver a potential knockout performance to put Postecoglou on the brink.

Here are the confirmed teams from the City Ground for the Premier League fixture between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
