The Premier League comes to a thrilling conclusion today, with five teams fighting it out for the final three Champions League places.
Two of them face off at the City Ground as seventh-placed Nottingham Forest look to cap a remarkable season by beating Chelsea to jump above them on the final day.
But even a win might not be enough to propel Nuno Espirito Santo's side into the top five if results go against them in the games involving Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea top betting tips
Forest started the season as fourth favourites for the drop but they have defied the doubters by spending most of the campaign inside the top four.
A recent slump has seen them lose ground in the Champions League chase but last week's win at West Ham has given them a chance heading into the final day.
Their tactic of sitting back and hitting teams on the counter has proved hugely effectively and Chelsea's patient style of play could suit Forest down to a tee.
BoyleSports make Chelsea 23/20 favourites but they don't have a recognised striker so I reckon Forest look overpriced at 2/1 with home advantage.
It should be a tight game so under 2.5 goals appeals at 23/20 with BoyleSports while I like the 9/5 at Betfred for Forest to pick up most booking points.
For a long-odds double, backing cards for Chelsea's Moises Caicedo and Forest's Elliot Anderson pays 9/1.

Fulham vs Manchester City
Few people would have expected Manchester City to be sweating on a Champions League place heading into the final day after winning four Premier League titles in a row.
Even fewer would have bet on Pep Guardiola's men ending the season empty handed but that's what has happened after their defeat in last weekend's FA Cup Final.
But they responded well with a 3-1 league win over Bournemouth in midweek and a point away to Fulham today will be enough to secure their place in the top five.
The Cottagers have nothing to play for so City should get the job done and backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 6/4 at BoyleSports.
Omar Marmoush bounced back from his cup final penalty miss by scoring a 30-yard screamer in midweek and the Egyptian is 11/8 for another goal.
Newcastle vs Everton
Newcastle could have wrapped up their Champions League place last weekend with a win at Arsenal that would have taken them above the Gunners into second.
But they missed the cutting edge of injured striker Alexander Isak as the Gunners ground out a 1-0 win to get over the line themselves.
The Magpies dropped down to fourth but there's no reason to panic as a home win over Everton on the final day will put the seal on a fantastic season.
Having ended the club's 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy by lifting the League Cup, Eddie Howe can now take them into the Champions League for a second time in three years.
With Isak still a major injury doubt, I'm going to back a Magpies win with under 3.5 goals, which pays 13/10 at BoyleSports.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa are looking to seal Champions League football for the second successive season but need a favour on the final day as they currently sit sixth.
Only goal difference is keeping them below Chelsea and Newcastle but it's too big a deficit to make up in one game so they need one of their rivals to slip up.
Unai Emery's men probably need to win at Old Trafford to stand any chance and they're lucky to be up against a Manchester United side in crisis.
Defeat to Tottenham in Wednesday's Europa League Final has left the Red Devils' season in tatters and Ruben Amorim will have tough job lifting his players for this one.
BoyleSports make Villa 4/6 hot favourites but you can boost the odds to 20/21 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
Morgan Rogers could get some joy against United's leaky defence and he's 6/5 at Paddy Power to either score or assist.
