"Snatching a sensational last-gasp 2-1 victory at home against defending Premier League champions Liverpool, Saturday's guests should be smelling a real opportunity here. Putting a maiden Champions League win on the board earlier in the month as they clinched a 1-0 victory against Portuguese outfit Benfica, the Blues have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. However, falling to a shock 3-1 drumming at the hands of Brighton on September 27th, Maresca's side are searching for some crucial defensive steel."
"Getting their European adventure underway with another 3-1 loss against German giants Bayern Munich last month, Chelsea have mustered just a sole clean sheet from any of their previous seven consecutive outings. Likewise, Saturday's guests have also failed to land a single clean sheet on their travels since opening up the new campaign. Although Ange Postecoglou might have arrived at the City Ground less than a month ago,"
England's top-flight resumes after the October international break with seven Saturday Premier League fixtures. Arsenal aim to extend their lead over the chasing pack. Nottingham Forest host Chelsea, with Chelsea arriving off a last-gasp 2-1 win over Liverpool and a maiden Champions League 1-0 victory against Benfica. Chelsea have won three of their previous four matches across all competitions but suffered 3-1 defeats to Brighton and Bayern, leaving them with only one clean sheet in seven outings and no away clean sheets this season. Ange Postecoglou arrived at the City Ground less than a month ago and faces mounting pressure after a 2-0 loss at Newcastle.
