At the time of writing we don’t know exactly what Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to do to boost their survival hopes but with Luton Town being held at West Ham, a point for Forest, with their vastly superior goal difference, will keep them up and send the Hatters down this evening in all but arithmetic.

Today’s match official
Chelsea: The club’s co-owner Todd Boley has praised the “beautiful” football his side play, raising the possibility that Mauricio Pochettino will remain as manager next season.
Chelsea: Mauricio Pochettino has indicated he will leave Chelsea if he is dissatisfied, and the end-of-season assessment will not only be about whether the club’s owners want to keep him. David Hytner reports…
Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Burnley: Thanks to Mickey van de Ven’s performance, Spurs face Burnley with 2 wins and 1 loss, and if they don’t win this game, they will be relegated.
West Ham 3-1 Luton Town: News that George Arcee came off the West Ham bench to score against Luton Town could cause a champagne cork to burst in the Nottingham Forest dressing room. As it stands, he’s almost mathematically safe even if he loses two games left.

Good news for Forest. Manager Tomas Soucek has just given West Ham a 2-1 lead against Luton, and Nottingham Forest’s job could be made much easier tonight. If Forest gets one point, Luton and Burnley will officially be eliminated from the competition against Sheffield United, but even if they lose, there will be no problem as their goal difference is equivalent to a point. Of course, that’s the case at present.

early team news
Neco Williams remains sidelined with a thigh injury, but Willy Boley, Nicolas Dominguez, Taiwo Awoniyi and Murillo all return from injury and will be in Nottingham Forest’s match-day squad against Sheffield United. All four players saw time on the pitch during the win and could start from today. . It is true that Awonih is likely to replace Chris Wood, who has failed to perform up front.
At yesterday’s press conference, manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed his delight at the return to full fitness of a number of players who had been out of action due to lameness, while also saying that their recovery would lead to the end of the season. I lamented the fact that it coincided with the end.
Axel Disasi, Levi Colwell, Raheem Sterling, Maro Gusto and Christopher Nkunku returned to the Chelsea squad against West Ham last weekend, while Ben Chilwell, Romeo Labia, Enzo Fernandes, Wesley Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka remains absent. Reece James has also returned to full training after five months out with a serious hamstring injury, and the England defender could feature at some point tonight.
Premier League: Nottingham Forest v Chelsea
It took a long time, but Chelsea finally arrived at the City Ground showing signs of coming together as a team, hoping to continue their form against a Nottingham Forest side struggling to avoid dropping them in the table. There is.
At the time of writing, it’s unclear exactly what Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to do to boost their hopes of survival, but Luton Town could be held off by West Ham. Forest, who have an overwhelmingly superior goal difference, will be able to stay in the league with just one point. And tonight we’re sending hatters out in all areas except arithmetic. We’ll know for sure long before kick-off at 5:30pm BST.
