However, they ended that stretch on a positive note.
Chelsea’s Recent Performance
Chelsea secured a crucial victory against Benfica with the return of Champions League football at Stamford Bridge. They followed this with a significant 2-1 win against the defending Premier League champions, Liverpool. Estevao Willian scored a thrilling 95th-minute winner, igniting the home crowd and propelling Chelsea above the Reds in the league standings.
Conditions at Nottingham Forest

He acknowledged Forest’s potential for a turnaround, stating, “They have good players and will want to win. We have to be ready.”
Chelsea’s League Standing and Aspirations

Garnacho reflected on some recent matches where he felt luck was not in their favor, particularly in encounters against Brighton and Manchester United. He believes that if the team plays to their strengths, they can achieve better outcomes.
Garnacho’s Integration and Ambitions
The young Argentine joined Chelsea from Manchester United in August. Initially, he made substitute appearances against Brentford and Bayern Munich. However, Garnacho has since earned starting positions in matches against Lincoln City and Benfica, building his confidence with strong performances.
