It is a rare pressure-free game for Nottingham Forest this weekend as they head to Crystal Palace with the luxury of having already secured another season in the Premier League.
Victory over Arsenal at the City Ground clinched survival for the Reds with a game to spare. Rather than the prospect of a nervy final day at Selhurst Park, it means there will be nothing riding on Sunday’s match for either side.
Head coach Steve Cooper will still want Forest to sign off on a positive note, particularly given their struggles away from home this term. But his selection decisions might be influenced by his team not requiring a certain result to stay up, not least because a few players have been carrying knocks.
