Nottingham Forest are currently in 7th place but are only 1 point behind the three teams competing for 4th and 5th place in the Premier League: Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa. The fierce battle takes place at 10pm on Sunday (May 25) forcing all 4 teams to win in the final match.

As for Nottingham Forest, if they are not going to settle for a Europa League spot in their pocket, they must beat Chelsea and hope Aston Villa or Newcastle don't win their game. Nottingham's chances are slim, but playing at home at the end of the season, they will fight to the end.

Nottingham Forest will be hoping to build on the momentum of their 2-1 win over West Ham when they take on Chelsea. Taiwo Awoniyi and Eric da Silva Moreira are both sidelined through injury, but there are no suspended players for the hosts.

Chelsea are aiming to maintain fourth place in the table , but a win at Nottingham Forest 's City Ground will be tough. Christopher Nkunku is a doubt for the visitors, while striker Nicolas Jackson is suspended. Marc Guiu and Wesley Fofana are both ruled out through injury.

It is worth noting that Forest can "give up" in the final minutes if they know Newcastle and Aston Villa are both sure to win. In that situation, Chelsea are the team that will grit their teeth and play, they are the team that can make a difference in the extra minutes.

The odds of Chelsea accepting half at 90-97 have not changed much, until this morning the market is still Chelsea winning 9 and losing all. The bookies advise choosing the over bet, because both sides can score.

However, perhaps it is only appropriate to enter the second half, where the face of the battle may change if on other pitches, Newcastle (hosting Everton) and Aston Villa (against Manchester United) are both sure to win. It seems that choosing Chelsea is still safer.

The score of 1-1 is the most "favored" so it has the lowest price: Bet 1 to win only 7.5, while a draw of 2-2 wins 12, and a draw of 0-0 wins up to 16. Most experts rate Chelsea's chances of winning slightly higher, so the score of 1-2 has a par value of only 8.8, while 2-1 wins up to 10. Similarly, 0-1 has a par value of 1 to win 10, while 1-0 wins up to 12; 0-2 wins 12, and 2-0 wins up to 17.
