In just a few minutes, the big match will take place between the two Premier League giants. Notingham Forest, today's away team, will be hosted by Chelsea Football Club, who are doing well based on recent match performance. As soon as we spoke, the squad that came out with Lampard from the Chelsea manager's wing showed a desire to win the game.
It's one of the most promising squads I've known that speaks volumes more about Chelsea's ability to win this game. However, we can remember that the tournament is coming to an end with the big favorites to win this trophy drawing closer and closer. As a Chelsea fan, I watched a good team and I could easily have predicted that Chelsea would win the game by more than 2.5 points.
This will help Chelsea build a winning mentality before the next very important game against Manchester City.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed more about Liverpool's recent squad change and his new role as reverse full-back
Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed the moment Jurgen Klopp told him and the entire Liverpool team that they were going to change up with the England international being used as a full-back.
The 24-year-old has thrived for the Red Devils in recent weeks since moving to a centre-forward and starting in midfield, instead of his traditional right-back position, as Liverpool have ball.
Klopp's men are currently on an eight-match unbeaten streak and have won their last six as they try to secure a place in the top four at the end of the season. And the Reds have used their new system in the last seven games, with Alexander-Arnold scoring six assists in one such game.
He will set up Roberto Firmino's last-minute equalizer at home to Arsenal as Liverpool recover from a 2-0 lead to earn part of the spoils in the Reds' first use of Alexander- Arnold in the reverse full-back position. And he shared his initial reaction to the change, with Klopp not telling his team about the tactical change until the day before they faced the Gunners.
"It (the first conversation) didn't have to be that long because I think the staff knew that I would understand the role and what I needed to bring to it," Alexander-Arnold revealed. "It just tells me where I need to be and in that, I have the quality and intelligence to be able to work with that.
"It was literally the day before the Arsenal game, to be honest, we suddenly realized that 'That's what we're going to do when we have the ball, build with two sixs and three defenders and one to reflect Arsenal's form and give them that matter.
"You saw [in] the first half, it was very difficult because it was brand new and to be honest, we hadn't worked on it yet, but then in the second half we were in control of the game and I think in a system and a Team like controlling the game is very important.Once we were able to do that and we've been able to do it ever since, we've been able to. show all his qualities. "Honestly, I'm excited. I like challenges, I love to try and learn new things and I think that's what I've really enjoyed this past month since we started. Tam. About this new role in the team:
question, learn, want to understand what will bring it, how can i learn, how i can improve, how i can help the team and just understand another role.
"Playing in a different way, learning the different rules that a midfielder or someone in midfield has to wear versus a wide player - pulling players out, making space for others, is an option, angles, shoulder checks, and more so it was brand new at first, but honestly, it was natural and I think it's obvious - that it looks and feels natural.
Of course, it's not just Alexander-Arnold who has to adapt to a new role, as Ibrahima Konaté, for example, has to cover the right-back when Liverpool have the ball. And the 24-year-old admits his teammates have made sacrifices to ensure the Reds get the best out of him in his new role. "I think it's one of those things, we all appreciate each other, we all appreciate our qualities," he said. “I think the system is suitable for profiles:
