It’s our most important game: Maresca

Chelsea brace for a dramatic showdown with Nottingham Forest as both clubs will be trying to seal a Champions League spot for next season by virtue of a top-five finish. As the English top-flight season comes to an end on Sunday, Forest and Chelsea are among five clubs chasing the three remaining top five spots, along with Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa.

Blues boss Enzo Maresca has billed the clash with Forest as a do-or-die match. “If we win, we do our job, we don’t need to pay attention to other results. [The players] know – they are aware that it’s an important game. The most important one,” said Maresca.

Meanwhile, Forest have lost momentum in recent weeks and must now beat Chelsea and hope Villa or Newcastle drop points in their games against Manchester United and Everton respectively.
