Nottingham Forest are a point different from Newcastle and two points from Manchester City in the league table but as much as they will merit the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season if they can complete the season in top four I still feel it will be a waste of opportunity because let’s be realistic how far do you think Nottingham Forest will go if the eventually qualify for the UCL next season?
It is very difficult for Nottingham Forest to stay in the top four of the table at the moment. Newcastle can only occupy the third place in the table if they win their next match. City is 2 points behind Nottingham and Chelsea are 3 points behind them. So if Nottingham Forest loses a point in the next match, it is uncertain for them to stay in the top four of the table.
If Nottingham Forest qualifies for the Champions League, they may be eliminated in the first round. But for these medium and small teams, qualifying for the Champions League is a big achievement. After that, the Premier League will become more competitive day by day. Small teams like Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are gradually becoming stronger.
