Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will hope to see his side build on their recent win over Liverpool when they face Nottingham Forest after the international break.
After a three-match winless run in the Premier League, the Blues defeated the reigning Premier League champions 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
That result moved the West London giants up to seventh in the top flight table, and Maresca will hope to see his side build on that performance when they face struggling Forest later this month.
In the meantime, it has been revealed that Chelsea are the latest side to show interest in an impressive Premier League midfielder.
As per TEAMtalk, Chelsea are keeping tabs on Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk.
The report claims that the Blues have joined Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in showing interest in the Ukrainian, who has been in fine form for the Bees this term.

Yarmolyuk, 21, joined Brentford from Ukrainian side Dnipro in 2022 and has since made 75 appearances for the club across all competitions.
It is claimed that Chelsea, United and Spurs have all been monitoring the midfielder, who has been watched by scouts on several occasions.
Brentford are understandably reluctant to allow the youngster to leave the Gtech Community Stadium, with the Ukraine international having established himself as an important player for the club.
Yarmolyuk has featured in all nine of the Bees’ matches so far this season, starting all seven Premier League games for Keith Andrews’ side.
Former Brentford boss Thomas Frank – who is now in charge of Spurs – is said to be keen for a reunion with the talented midfielder in North London, with the pair having worked together over the past two seasons.
