Chelsea suffered yet another setback in their fight for a top four spot on New Year's Day as they drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. The Blues took the lead through Raheem Sterling before Serge Aurier equalised for the hosts as Graham Potter's side dropped points yet again.
The west Londoners are hoping to add a few new signings in the January transfer window with Benoit Badiashile set to finalise a move to Stamford Bridge this week after completing a medical ahead of a £33million move from Monaco. The Blues are keen on adding a new striker, central midfielder and right wing-back after Badiashile seals his move to Chelsea, football.london understands.
Potter's side can jump up to seventh with a win over City tonight by at least two clear goals but have lost all three of their previous meetings in all competitions. Pep Guardiola will be keen for his side to close the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal after the Gunners drew 0-0 against Newcastle on Tuesday evening.
