Nottingham Forest host Chelsea on the final day of the 2024/25 season, with the result crucial in deciding the European candidates.
The Blues need a victory to keep them in fifth, with results elsewhere potentially pushing them as high as fourth.
Forest have already secured their best league finish since the 1994/95 season, as well as European football in some capacity. A win would secure their return to the Champions League - a fantastic achievement for the club and ownership.
A 1-1 draw was the outcome in the reverse fixture, and fans can expect the same evenly-matched, nervy affair on Sunday.
Team news
Nottingham Forest
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will have some tricky decisions to make regarding his team's shape, as a win could secure either Europa League or Champions League football.
Center back Murillo is pushing to start after picking up a knock against West Ham. The Brazillian played through the pain - hinting at nothing serious in the long term.
Callum Hudson-Odoi came off the bench in that game, and will be itching to feature against his former club - though Nicholas Dominguez has been solid in his place, and gives his side some more defensive security.
Club captain Ryan Yates will hope to make an appearance in some capacity, given the stakes and potentially historic outcome of the game.
Elsewhere, Taiwo Awoniyi will spend an extended period on the sidelines as he continues to recover from a major abdominal injury - the striker was woken from an induced coma last week and stated he was 'grateful to still be here'.
Chelsea
Chelsea had five players called up to the June international squad - the most of any team - and all five could feature on Sunday.
Alongside Levi Colwill, Reece James, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke, Trevoh Chalobah was rewarded with his first senior cap; the defender has made a big impact since returning from his loan at Crystal Palace.
Attacking duo Marc Guiu and Christopher Nkunku made their full return to team training, according to head coach Enzo Maresca, and are in contention to feature on Sunday.
Striker Nicolas Jackson is still serving a suspension after his red card against Newcastle, so Maresca will have another decision to make regarding who leads the line in this match.
A league return for Jadon Sancho could push Pedro Neto to the number nine spot - the Portugese midfielder has had a solid season for the Blues and was rewarded with an international team selection this week.
Tyrique George is another option, having begun up front against Manchester United.
Robert Sanchez is expected to start between the sticks, as Maresca confirmed backup Filip Jorgensen was in his team for next weeks Conference League final against Real Betis.
Predicted lineups
Nottingham Forest: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Sangare, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga, Wood.
Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Neto.
Players to watch
Nottingham Forest - Callum Hudson-Odoi
If he makes the starting lineup, Callum Hudson-Odoi could be a key threat for Forest as they look to cause an upset and secure a top five finish.
The winger is due a goal in the league: his last coming in a 4-3 defeat to Newcastle back in February.
He could cause issue for left-back Marc Cucurella - particularly if full-back Ola Aina bombs forward and provides an overlap.
Hudson-Odoi also shines as a creator - he completed 100% of his passes in the reverse fixture as the two sides battled for a 1-1 draw.
A dangerous pass to Chris Wood could be devastating for Chelsea, and if Nuno opts for his usual winger selection, they will need to find ways to nullify the threat out wide.
Chelsea - Cole Palmer
Chelsea's away form has been dire this season - they have just one win on the road in 2025.
Nonetheless, they will be energised and motivated by the prospect of Champions League football - which they will secure with a victory.
Palmer has not scored from open play since the beginning of January, but is shining as a deep creator for the Blues, and is still capable of driving and providing a shooting chance when needed.
He had a solid outing against Manchester United, and will want to close out the season on a positive note. The absence of Jackson could result in a more advanced role, playing just behind the striker and releasing shots on goal as often as possible.
Palmer has shown he can produce moments of pure magic - and fans will hope he can deliver in a must-win game.
