Enzo Marseca may be new to the job, but he's already making a big impact at Chelsea. It's still early days, but the fans must be thrilled with the exciting brand of football their team is playing this season. It's been a long time since a manager has had such a strong start with the Blues.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forrest Prediction
The second-best attacking side in the league against the second-best defensive side. This match-up should be really interesting, Chelsea will be looking to come out strong and score early to force Nottingham out of their defensive shell. I think Enzo Maresca’s boys should be able to do just that, catching Nottingham off guard and extending Chelsea's lead. My prediction is a thrilling 3-1 victory for Chelsea, with an early goal setting the pace, the Blues capitalizing on Forrest’s attempts for an equalizer leaving their defensive line open to extend the lead, and Wood pulling one back for Nottingham. This match is definitely one you don't want to miss out on!
