"Starting with the hosts, while Nottingham Forest might have broken a string of long-standing records last season as they clinched an iconic European ticket, the Reds have come crashing back down to earth in an infamous fashion this time around. Although Ange Postecoglou might have only taken charge at the City Ground last month, the former Tottenham boss already has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders."
"Not making a single appearance since the end of August, Nottingham Forest will once again be without Nigerian international Ola Aina here. Likewise, enduring a public struggle after completing a summer loan switch from Juventus, ex-Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz remains a doubt. Despite dealing with a host of individual injury issues this year, defensive talisman Murillo could make a first Premier League start since September 13th. Featuring for England over the past fortnight, Morgan Gibbs-White will be looking to notch a first top-flight strike"
Chelsea return from October's international break aiming to increase pressure on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday. Nottingham Forest have fallen from last season's successes and face a nine-match winless run across competitions, placing significant pressure on Ange Postecoglou, who took charge last month. Forest lost 2-0 at Newcastle before the break; another defeat could risk his position. Injuries persist: Ola Aina remains unavailable, Douglas Luiz is doubtful, Murillo may make his first league start since September 13, and Morgan Gibbs-White seeks his first top-flight goal after England duty. Chelsea enter after a late 2-1 win over Liverpool.
