Much has been said of Chelsea&#8217;s spending over both transfer windows, how have they got away with spending so much, FFP and all that?, anyhow the way that Marco has made Fulham such a cohesive unit, every player playing for the &#8220;team&#8221;, really fluent in possession, well drilled off the ball, very difficult to break down and full of confidence,  shows that you don&#8217;t have to spend a large fortune to gain success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forest have also spent a fortune in both transfer windows, they&#8217;ve bought around 30 players and currently sit in 13th, 6 points off of 18, i think that their still in the mist of the relegation battle and will be desperate for any points.<br>The 2-3 scoreline from September&#8217;s reverse fixture didn&#8217;t really tell the story of the game.
