Potentially a winner-takes-all clash in the frenetic fight for Champions League football, seventh-placed Nottingham Forest and fifth-placed Chelsea clash at the City Ground on Sunday, in the final gameweek of the Premier League season.
The Garibaldi start the day one point behind the Blues, who will guarantee a top-five placement with a win, but the Tricky Trees also need other results to go their way if they prevail.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest team news for both clubs.
