Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will hope to see his side build on their victory against Liverpool when they face Nottingham Forest later this month.
The Blues defeated reigning champions Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in their final game before the international break, and Maresca will hope to see his side pick up another three points when they visit struggling Forest when domestic football returns.
At present the West London side sit seventh in the Premier League table, although they are just five points behind leaders Arsenal after seven matches.
One player that has been in particularly good form for the Blues so far this term is midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who has scored three times in seven league games already.
Despite his impotence to Maresca’s side, it has emerged that Chelsea could be willing to part ways with the Argentine.
As per Fichajes via CaughtOffside, Chelsea are willing to entertain the idea of selling Fernandez next year, but only if they receive a huge offer for the player.

It is claimed that the Blues would have to receive a bid in the region of £120 million to consider allowing Fernandez to leave Stamford Bridge.
The London side paid a staggering £106.8 million to sign the Argentina international from Portuguese side Benfica in 2023 and, after a shaky start to life in England, he has established himself as one of the best in the Premier League in his position.
In total, Fernandez has scored 19 goals and provided 24 assists in 125 games for Chelsea across all competitions, also captaining the West London outfit on a number of occasions.
The 24-year-old is contracted to the Blues until the end of the 2031/32 season after signing a long-term deal when joining the club, but the report suggests that Spanish giants Real Madrid have identified the midfielder as one of their top transfer targets.
While Chelsea are reluctant to let Fernandez leave, the report claims that an offer in the region of £120 million would likely be enough to convince the Premier League side to at least enter into negotiations about a possible sale.
