Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest
FA Cup 2018-19
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off: 3pm GMT today
Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of today’s FA Cup third round tie between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
As well as making their mark on the world's most famous domestic competition, the Blues will be desperate to impress after a sorry showing against Southampton midweek, while the Bridge will want to be at its best to say goodbye to Cesc Fabregas in what looks set to be his final game for the club.
Under pressure Aitor Karanka and his Forest side ended a run of five games without a win with victory over Championship leaders Leeds United on New Year's Day.
Vaishali Bhardwaj and Simon Johnson are at the game this afternoon, so stay tuned for FA Cup score, commentary and goal updates from the Stamford Bridge….
