This evening’s Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea will have an impact on both the top and bottom of the standings.
The Forest team coached by Nuno Espirito Santo is currently three points above the drop zone in 17th place in the league after their attempt to reverse a four-point deduction for violating Profit & Sustainability criteria was unsuccessful. Their previous game, a 3-1 triumph against Sheffield United, kept them out of relegation, but they must win their next two games to ensure a place in the top division the next season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is pursuing Newcastle United in an effort to qualify for the Europa League the following season. Mauricio Pochettino’s team is in a fight for sixth place with Manchester United, and their recent run of three wins has put them in the mix. If they triumph today, they will be well-positioned to guarantee their spot in Europe prior to the last gameweek.
