Nottingham Forest and Chelsea are set for a decisive showdown at the City Ground this afternoon, with Champions League qualification hanging in the balance on the final day of the Premier League season. Both sides head into the clash with momentum following impressive wins last week — Forest defeating West Ham and Chelsea seeing off Manchester United. Now, with one match remaining, everything comes down to the next 90 minutes in the race for a top-five finish. Forest, under Nuno Espirito Santo, start the day in seventh place and must win to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Even then, their fate is not entirely in their own hands. A victory might still fall short if Aston Villa beat Manchester United at Old Trafford or if Newcastle secure three points at home against Everton. For Chelsea, the scenario is more straightforward. A win all but guarantees them a top-five finish — barring an unlikely 12-goal swing in Aston Villa's favour. A draw could also be enough, but only if other results go their way. With so much at stake, a tense and thrilling afternoon is expected at the City Ground as both teams battle for a place among Europe’s elite. In the UK, the match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports . Coverage begins at 3pm BST on Sky Sports Premier League , with the match itself kicking off at 4pm and also shown on Sky Sports Main Event . Sky Sports customers will be able to live stream the game through Sky Go or via the Sky Sports app. Taiwo Awoniyi continues to be sidelined for Nottingham Forest as he recovers from abdominal surgery sustained earlier this month. Meanwhile, Murillo is expected to be fit and available for selection. Enzo Maresca has confirmed that both Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu have returned from injury, strengthening his attacking options ahead of the match, especially with Nicolas Jackson suspended.
