Chelsea has confirmed its line-up for the upcoming match against Nottingham Forest. With just three games left in the season, Chelsea still holds a strong chance of qualifying for European football. Mauricio Pochettino’s team has been in good form lately, securing back-to-back victories against Tottenham and West Ham United at Stamford Bridge.
However, their away form has been inconsistent. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, can secure Premier League safety if they manage to avoid defeat tonight and receive favorable results from earlier matches, despite having their appeal for a four-point deduction rejected earlier in the week.
The match kicks off at 5:30 PM at the City Ground, and Bobby Vincent will be providing live coverage from the venue throughout the afternoon and evening.
