Elsewhere in the Bundesliga this afternoon: 

FC Koln vs Augsburg 

Heidenheim vs Werder Bremen

Mainz vs Bayer Leverkusen 

Wolfsburg vs Stuttgart

13:22 CET - It is half-time at the Forest Ground, and the hosts will be disappointed not to be ahead. Chelsea's central defenders were half asleep in the first 30 minutes, handing Forest some great chances. However, the home side failed to take advantage of being on top, and the game remains scoreless. 

Encouraging signs for Ange Postecoglou at least.

12:30 CET - It is time for the first starting lineups of the weekend as Nottingham Forest host Chelsea in an hour!

The surprising team news comes from Enzo Maresca as the Chelsea boss rests the in-form Moises Caicedo and starts Malo Gusto in the midfield alongside Romeo Lavia.

Meanwhile, after his monologue in the pre-match press conference, Ange Postecoglou looks to have altered his formation to a back five and surprisingly starts Taiwo Awoniyi up front ahead of Chris Wood.

11:00 CET - Good morning and welcome back to the Football Tracker this Saturday morning!

The action resumes after the international break over in England, where the under-pressure Ange Postecoglou and his Nottingham Forest side face a tough test at home to Chelsea.

Manchester City will also be in Premier League action today, while table-toppers Arsenal look to continue their momentum with a London derby at Fulham.

In the Bundesliga, while Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to pick up three points, the real standout clash is Der Klassiker, with the unbeaten and relentless Bayern Munich playing host to Borussia Dortmund - who are also unbeaten and sitting four points off them in second. 

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are both in LaLiga action a little later on, before Roma meets Inter Milan in a superb Serie A clash, and defending champions Napoli visit Torino.

In Ligue 1, Marseille and Lyon will also both have the chance to capitalise on PSG's dropped points last night.
