WHAT HAPPENED?
Forest head into the latest round of fixtures knowing that safety could be secured in their clash with Chelsea at the City Ground. As the late kick-off in the English top-flight on Saturday, the Reds will know how Burnley and Luton have fared before taking to the field.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
With a superior goal difference to those directly below them, Forest will be all but safe if Luton lose at West Ham and Burnley fail to win away at Tottenham. If those results were to play out, then a point against Chelsea would guarantee survival for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side – while a win would have them virtually over the line regardless of what happens elsewhere.
DID YOU KNOW?
Reyna will be hoping to play some part against Chelsea, having found himself back on the bench for Forest’s last two fixtures. He is being put through his paces ahead of a crucial contest, with the Reds “charging up” in a bid to ensure that they do not fall flat.

WHAT NEXT FOR REYNA?
Reyna has struggled for regular game time throughout his loan spell in England. He has started just two matches and seen only 230 minutes of Premier League action in total. The likelihood is that he will return to parent club Borussia Dortmund in the summer before a decision is made on his long-term future.
