Nottingham Forest’s aspirations for a top-four finish face a setback following their recent draw with Crystal Palace. 

Currently sixth in the Premier League, Forest trails Chelsea and Newcastle by two points, with three crucial matches remaining. 

Their upcoming fixtures include games against Leicester City, West Ham United, and a potentially decisive final-day clash with Chelsea. 

To achieve a top-four finish, Forest must capitalize on these opportunities and hope for favourable results from their rivals.

Injuries to Callum Hudson-Odoi and the drop in form of striker Chris Wood add to the team’s challenges.

Their recent form also causes worry. They have won just one of their last five league matches in a period where every point matters.

However, with seemingly easy opponents in their next two games, they can pick up the pace and possibly keep themselves in the fight for a Champions League spot.
