Forest meanwhile must beat Chelsea to have any chance of sneaking back into the top five.
And as it stands, sixth place will join FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Europa League, and seventh qualify for the Conference League. ESPN’s Dale Johnson has tirelessly covered these permutations (it’s been messy) including how eighth could yet qualify for Europe.
This will only become possible if Chelsea finish seventh, or if the Blues finish sixth AND Newcastle finish seventh.
