Chelsea will be looking to scupper Nottingham Forest’s chances of survival at Stamford Bridge this afternoon (3pm kick-off).
Frank Lampard endured the worst possible start on his return to the Chelsea dugout, losing his first six games in charge in all competitions before recording his first win over Bournemouth last weekend. The west London club have little to play for but are still a dangerous opponent for Forest, given the obvious talent within their ranks.
Steve Cooper ’s side will be looking to extend the three-point gap that Forest put between themselves and the bottom three with their victory over Southampton. Ahead of their clash at Stamford Bridge, Frank Lamaprard revealed that he will be without several key players against the Reds.
