The Premier League is rounding up today, and there’s one fixture you should be watching.
If there’s any match that has the most repercussions on this final day in the Premier League, it’s Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest. The fate of both teams’ European football aspirations hangs on the outcome of this match, and it provides the perfect atmosphere for a closing-day fixture.
Chelsea are currently in the fifth spot, the final spot to secure Champions League football, but they need a win against Forest to make it their reality at the end of 90 minutes.
For Forest, a win will move them two points above the Blues and see them qualify for the Champions League, while they hope for a favourable result in the Aston Villa game. A win can also guarantee them a place in the Europa League, leaving Chelsea to necessarily win the Europa Conference League if they don’t want to play back-to-back conference league football.
The first meeting between both sides this season ended in a draw, and they would both be looking for a better result at this stage of the season. A lot is at stake here, and it is the fixture that you should pay attention to.
