Nottingham Forest and Chelsea know their Champions League qualification fate will be decided in a huge showdown at the City Ground this afternoon.
After wins over West Ham and Manchester United respectively last week, it all comes down to the next 90 minutes in the race for a top-five Premier League finish.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side begin the day in seventh place and know they have to win to have any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
That said, all three points may not even be enough if Aston Villa are victorious at Old Trafford, or should Newcastle beat Everton at home.
Victory for Chelsea will certainly confirm a top-five finish - barring a 12-goal swing in Villa's favour - whilst a draw could also be enough but, in this scenario, they would be reliant on results from elsewhere.
