Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, team news and updates as Chelsea take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at the City Ground, with Tom Collomosse and Kieran Gill reporting from the grounds.

Blues on the up

Last time out was an important game for Chelsea, who were slipping down the Premier League table and had just lost against Brighton.

It was a tough task against Liverpool, but they got the job done in seriously dramatic fashion.

It was Estevao who popped up with a 90 minute winner, causing Maresca to sprint down the touchline - and get sent off - in celebration.

I'm sure they would take more of the same today, but with perhaps a bit less stress.

Forest continue to struggle

It's been a disastrous reign for Ange Postecoglou since he took over from Nuno earlier this season.

Forest are 17th in the Premier League table and yet to win a game under the Australian. They are in freefall, picking up one point from their last five games, and were beaten comfortably by Newcastle last time out.

There are already murmurs that he could be on his way, and defeat here could well be the final straw.

That image of his players all walking past him after the Newcastle defeat was striking, by the way.
