Nottingham Forest return to Championship action when they travel to Peterborough United today (3pm).
Forest will move onto 73 points with four games remaining if they beat Posh at London Road and could confirm a play-off place if other results go their way. Reds fans will also be keeping an eye on proceedings at AFC Bournemouth today with promoted Fulham heading there for their first game since Premier League football for next season was confirmed in midweek.
Forest are seven points behind Bournemouth and still have to travel to Dean Court for one of Steve Cooper's side's five games left this season. But for now all the focus is on securing a valuable win at Posh, who are seven points behind Reading with nine to play for and on the verge of relegation.

NottinghamshireLive reporter Sarah Clapson has looked at who Cooper is expected to play in today's game.
Here's our predicted XI...
Forest remain very much in the promotion hunt as the Championship season reaches its climax, writes Sarah Clapson. It has been a remarkable turnaround in form for the Reds since Cooper took charge in September.
And the hope is that the best may yet be to come. Forest's trip to Peterborough on Saturday marks the start of their final five matches, with the aim to secure a top-six finish.
They are currently in fifth spot, with a five-point cushion over seventh-placed Millwall - plus two games in hand - and seven points below Bournemouth, in second. Cooper will be without striker Keinan Davis and full-back Max Lowe at London Road due to injury.
However, he welcomed back defender Steve Cook in Monday night’s 4-0 thumping of West Bromwich Albion, while captain Lewis Grabban is available again after missing that clash due to illness. The Reds head coach was coy on whether Cook would be fit enough for a place in the starting XI, having not done much training prior to his cameo appearance.
If he is, though, Cooper would face a tough decision on Tobias Figueiredo, who has been excellent in Cook’s absence and will hope he has done enough to keep the shirt. Having Grabban in contention also poses a dilemma in attack.
Sam Surridge impressed on his first league start earlier in the week, putting in a good performance and rounding off the scoring with a clinical finish against the Baggies. Grabban could play on the left or in a deeper role, but to include both him and Surridge in the line-up would mean leaving out one of Philip Zinckernagel and Brennan Johnson.
For Cooper, it is a decision over whether to stick with a winning team. The Welshman rarely makes too many changes between fixtures, preferring to try to build up momentum.
But he did say prior to the weekend: "We've got five games in two weeks, so there's bound to be changes - some forced, some that we want to do tactically or to freshen things up. The more players we can have available, the better."
Predicted Forest XI: Samba; Worrall, Figueiredo, McKenna; Spence, Yates, Garner, Colback; Zinckernagel; Johnson, Surridge.
