Written by Nottingham Forest hosted Chelsea in their new year Premier League game. The two Managers named very strong squads for the encounter because they all wanted to start the new year on a positive note.
The Blues looked lethal in the first half and that was depicted by the goal that was scored by Raheem Sterling. The first half ended 1-0 in favor of the Blues.
The second half started on a very high note and the home side did all the possible things to make sure that they at least salvaged a point from that game. Serge Aurier who has never scored for his club is the player who was on target and he saved a point for his club.
Graham Potter was forced to make some changes in his squad in order to get some great results. He substituted Denis Zakaria in the midfield and replaced him with Mateo Kovacic who came back from a long break after the FIFA 2022 World Cup.
He also substituted Jorginho and replaced him with Hakim Ziyech, Raheem Sterling with Conor Gallagher.Mason Mount with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Christian Pulisic with Carney Chukwuemeka.
The Nottingham Forest Manager also made only three changes and he substituted Orel Mangala and replaced him with Jack Colback, Brennan Johnson with Sam Surridge and Taiwo Awoniyi with Neco Williams.
The game ended 1-1 and the two teams got one point each. This was actually a setback to Chelsea because it again lost 2 points which could have been very crucial in the race for the top four.
