Nottingham Forest is living a true dream, normally they would be doing the math to avoid relegation, but it is unbelievable that they are doing the math to go to the European Champions League, we are not talking about the Europa League, but the European Champions League, there are only 4 places and they are occupying one of those 4 places.
https://www.premierleague.com/tablesThey have overcome great teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle and are in third place, there are only a few games left for the Premier League to end and they can achieve something big, which would be going to the European Champions League, I doubt very much that this was in the club's management's plans before this season started.
Regarding 8 matches left in premier league, Nottingham Forest have bigger chance for securing the top fourth position or get one UEFA Champion League spot standings in this season after remaining 7 points left awhile from Chelsea at the 4th position place. Nottingham Forest will not face the big four teams standings at 8 matches left and likely not get difficult if want secure the big four position standings this season except face Aston Villa as the top position team standing upcoming match.
Interested with the 4th standings race in this season after several teams have few point remaining only, recently Chelsea have 49 points but Manchester City only one point left, Newcastle United with 47 points have advantage with one match left and interested for 8 matches left which one team will secure the last UEFA Champion League spot standings? Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United or Brighton Albion with 47 points make difference achievement in this season?
