How to watch today's Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

With the Premier League title race and relegation picture already settled, the spotlight shifts to European qualification as Nottingham Forestwelcome Chelseato the City Ground for a crucial final-day showdown.

It's all to play for in the chase for UEFA Champions League spots, and both clubs head into Sunday knowing what's at stake. For Chelsea, a win would all but seal a return to Europe's top table thanks to their superior goal difference. As for Forest, victory could lift them into the top five, provided both Newcastle and Aston Villa drop points elsewhere.

The Tricky Trees head into Matchday 38 buoyed by a gritty 2-1 victory away to West Ham, snapping a three-game winless streak. That stretch included a disappointing 2-2 draw with already-relegated Leicester, a result that may haunt them should they fall short in the end.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have found form at just the right time. Four wins from their last five games have reignited belief at Stamford Bridge, though a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle remains the blemish in an otherwise strong finish. Still, Enzo Maresca's side has been inconsistent on the road, with seven defeats from 18 away fixtures proving a nagging weakness.

Nottingham Forest team news

On the team news front, Nuno Espirito Santo revealed that centre-back Murillo remains a doubt after aggravating an ankle injury against West Ham. Though he saw out the match, he's yet to return to full training.

Callum Hudson-Odoi made his return from a hamstring strain off the bench last weekend and could be in line to start against his former employers, while Taiwo Awoniyi remains sidelined following abdominal surgery.

Chelsea team news

For Chelsea, Maresca confirmed that both Christopher Nkunku and youngster Marc Guiu are back in contention after recovering from injury layoffs. Nicolas Jackson remains suspended, but Jadon Sancho—ineligible against parent club Manchester United last weekend—is available for selection.
