What channel is Nottingham Forest v Chelsea Premier League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time

by

The Premier League returns on Saturday as Nottingham Forest host Chelsea at The City Ground.

Just seven games into his new role, manager Ange Postecoglou is already facing pressure as his team hasn’t won any of their matches. This has left the team dangerously close to the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest supporters booed him before the recent international break, even chanting that he should be fired, and the mood at the City Ground could quickly become very negative if the team doesn’t start the game well.

Chelsea gained confidence heading into the break after winning 2-1 against a struggling Liverpool. The win moved Chelsea up to seventh in the standings, after they had recently experienced some inconsistent results themselves.

Chelsea is still missing key player Cole Palmer, who won’t be back until November, but they believe they have enough attacking strength to win their game in the East Midlands.

As a total radio and sports nut, I’ve found a bunch of ways to listen to talkSPORT. You can usually find it on DAB radio, and a lot of times on MW 1089 kHz, but it’s always best to double-check their website for local frequencies just in case. It’s also available through most TV packages, kinda like the BBC. And if you’re like me and love listening on the go, they’ve got a great website and app where you can tune in anytime.
