The reason for Chelsea's challenging schedule is that La Liga has scheduled Betis's final league match against Valencia for Friday evening, giving them more time to rest and prepare for the Conference League final. Meanwhile, Chelsea and other teams will play on Sunday at 4 pm to avoid giving other teams an unfair advantage. Maresca expressed his discontent with this decision, saying it's not normal for one team to have a 48-hour head start before a final.

"I'm not happy about it, 100%. You can't give another team 48 hours more to prepare for a European final," Maresca said. He also questioned the decision-makers, asking if it's normal to allow one team to have more time to prepare for a final. The goal difference between Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Forest is very small, so a win for Forest will be crucial.

Nuno, the Forest boss, is confident that playing at home will give his team an extra boost. He believes the energy of the crowd will help his team, but he also acknowledges that Chelsea is a talented team. Nuno is determined to give it his all and make the most of the opportunity to make history.
