Chelsea will be looking for their second win of the Premier League season when they host Nottingham Forest this weekend.
The Blues finally got off the mark for the 2023/24 campaign with a 3-0 victory over Luton last time out. It was a comfortable win for Mauricio Pochettino's men, who had previously suffered defeat by West Ham and drawn 1-1 with Liverpool.
The fixture list over the next few weeks does not look at all daunting for Chelsea, so Pochettino will be targeting plenty of points over the next few weeks. His team must remain focused, though, as teams like Forest are capable of causing problems for the big boys.
Steve Cooper's side showed that on recent trips to Arsenal and Manchester United. They only lost narrowly to both teams and stormed into a 2-0 lead against Erik ten Hag's men last weekend, only to lose 3-2. Still, there were positives to take from their performances and Cooper will want to see more of the same here.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
International Premier League TV rights
• UK: Sky Sports and TNT Sports are the two main players, but Amazon also have a slice of the pie in 2023/24.
• USA: NBC Sports Group are the Premier League rights holders, with the Peacock Premium streaming platform showing all 380 games in the season. A fuboTV subscription also lets you watch every game.
• Canada: The way to watch Premier League football in 2023/24 is fuboTV, which has exclusive rights to all the action.
• Australia: Optus Sport will screen every game of the Premier League season.
