Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea - LIVE!
The Champions League hopes of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea have come down to the final day of the season at the City Ground. No Premier League match has more riding on it this afternoon, with Chelsea knowing three points would secure their place at Europe’s top table next season, while Forest need a victory and favours from elsewhere if they are to qualify.
Should Nuno Espirito Santo’s side win here and one of Newcastle and Aston Villa drop points, it will be Forest in the Champions League next season. European qualification has already been secured, a remarkable achievement for a club tipped by many to go down this season. They have, though, picked up just one point across recent home matches against Everton, Brentford and Leicester.
The equation for Chelsea is simple - win and they will be back in the Champions League. They have a Conference League final to come in midweek but the full focus will be on this match, with it crucial that the club return to the top tier of European competition for the first time since the 2022/23 season.
