Nottingham Forest

Current form
Nottingham Forest quickly went from being a contender for a place in the Champions League to becoming one of the clubs that are simply fighting for the European Cup. Obviously, the foresters did not have enough safety margin and experience in the fight for such high positions in the championship. In the previous three rounds, the wards of Nuno Espirito Santo did not win a single victory. Moreover, the calendar during this period was not the most difficult: Brentford (0:2), Crystal Palace (1:1) and Leicester (2:2). The main problem is that the defensive line began to malfunction regularly, and it was precisely due to the clear organization of the defensive game that the team achieved success. After 36 rounds, Nottingham Forest is in seventh place in the table, four points behind the top 5, but there is a game left.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the game against Leicester, Avonyi suffered a severe abdominal injury after colliding with a barbell. Murillo and Hudson-Odoi are questionable.
