Paul Merson believes Nottingham Forest are "largely out of danger" ahead of Saturday's clash against Arsenal at the City Ground.
The Reds are three points clear of the relegation zone with just two games left. A win this weekend will put them on the brink of securing their top-flight status for another season.
Steve Cooper's side go to Crystal Palace on the final day of the season knowing they face a nervy afternoon if they are unable to get a result against Mikel Arteta's men on Saturday.

And ahead of what is going to be a vital match on the banks of the River Trent (kick-off 5:30pm), Arsenal old boy Merson thinks the Gunners will come out on top.
"Arsenal will obviously be disappointed after their loss against Brighton. Nottingham Forest will have one eye on everybody else's result," he told Sportskeeda. "But they are three points clear of the relegation zone for now and should be largely out of danger.
"I don't see Leicester winning their last two football matches. So if Forest earn a point, it’ll do them a world of good.
"Forest could give a stern test to Arsenal here, but I expect The Gunners to come out on top."
Merson's prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Arsenal
