Chelsea head coach Graham Potter says he is going through the most challenging period of his managerial career as he prepares his squad to take on Nottingham Forest this weekend.
The Reds, who sit second from bottom in the Premier League table, host the West London outfit at the City Ground this Sunday with kick-off set for 4.30pm. It's the first top-flight meeting between the two clubs for over 23 years, during which time Forest have largely struggled in the two tiers below while Chelsea became a hyper-successful club.
Potter's side, however, are in worse form than Forest, having won just one of their last seven league games. The 47-year-old says the six-week break from competitive action while the World Cup took place has not helped their cause.
