Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Premier League
The final day of the Premier League season is upon us, and all eyes will be on the City Ground as Nottingham Forest hosts Chelsea in a clash that could have major implications for the Champions League race on Sunday. Can Forest survive Chelsea’s Champions League push?
Nottingham Forest Preview & Form
Nottingham Forest will head to their final home game hoping to derail Chelsea by getting all three points in this game to squeeze themselves into the Champions League spots. Forest are currently sitting seventh in the Premier League standings, and as a result, they have already guaranteed themselves European football for next season, no matter the outcome of the final game, but they just sit a point behind Chelsea, who occupy the fifth and final spot of the Champions League. The Tricky Trees have hit some bad form lately, with just one win from their last five Premier League games, losing two and drawing two. Last weekend, Nuno Espirito's men returned to winning ways in the penultimate match by beating West Ham United 2-1 at the London Stadium.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will be desperate to end their current home struggles with the Tricky Trees, winless in their last three Premier League games, losing two in a row, and drawing once.
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea are close to securing a top five finish this season, and all they have to do on the final day of the Premier League is win this game at the City Ground. The Blues also have the UEFA Europa Conference League final in Wroclaw, Poland, where they will face Real Betis, but their major priority will be to finish the season with a Champions League spot. Enzo Maresca's men return to winning ways by beating Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to Marc Cucurella's second-half goal. The Blues have now won four of their last five Premier League games.
Enzo Maresca’s side is also enjoying an impressive form in their away games, having suffered only one defeat in their last three away Premier League games.
