Bournemouth captain Lloyd Kelly has stressed that there is "no point" looking into how other promotion pushers, such as Nottingham Forest, are faring as they look to secure a return to the Premier League.
The Cherries currently occupy the final automatic promotion place by sitting second and are just five points ahead of Steve Cooper 's side in the Championship table. Huddersfield Town split the two sides but have played two matches more than both.
Both sides are set to play one of those games in hand tomorrow (Tuesday, April 26th). The Reds travel to league leaders Fulham, while Bournemouth are in South Wales to face Swansea City.

“I wouldn’t say we look at what other teams are doing," Kelly told the Daily Echo. “Of course, at the end of each game, we will look at the table, but that’s it. All our focus is on what we need to do and take it game-by-game.
“I feel like there is no point looking into what others are doing because then you just lose your concentration, you lose what your focus is from what was set out at the start of the season. That’s what we have been doing from day dot to where we are now, so there’s no point in changing that – it’s just focusing on what we need to do next.
Kelly added: “It’s been exciting from the first game of the season. We knew it was going to be a long season, and we are here now with four games to go.
“We are nearly there, but everyone is not getting complacent with where we are. You know things can change drastically in this league. We just have to make sure we do the right things and get over the line.”
