Nottingham Forest face Burnley today in the Premier League, looking to go five points clear of Tottenham with five games remaining of the campaign.
Forest have wasted a number of golden chances to put a two-goal swing between them and the other teams fighting relegation, and that makes today’s game huge.

How Nottingham Forest should line up vs Burnley
Matz Sels should return between the posts, despite Stefan Ortega playing extremely well against Porto in midweek.
The back four will have a more familiar feeling today, with Nikola Milenkovic coming back into the fold for Jair Cunha, with Murillo expected to shake off a niggle from Thursday.
Neco Williams and Ola Aina will once again start in the full-back positions.
In midfield, it feels unlikely that Elliot Anderson will be ready to return following the sad passing of his mother.

With that in mind, Nicolas Dominguez should get the chance to continue alongside Ibrahim Sangare, who looks undroppable at the moment.
The final four could be spearheaded by Taiwo Awoniyi today, with Chris Wood unlikely to be risked from the start after getting injured on Thursday night.
Morgan Gibbs-White will occupy the number 10, with Omari Hutchinson keeping his place in the team in one of the wide positions.
With Callum Hudson-Odoi injured, Dilane Bakwa could get the chance to start the game, and it will be on him to grasp the opportunity.
