May 10 Nottingham Forest 1 Newcastle United 1 | Safety secured!
Nottingham Forest drew Newcastle United in their penultimate home game of the Premier League season as they overcame injuries to Morgan Gibbs-White, Murillo, Ibrahim Sangare and Ola Aina, as well as a physically draining run of three games in six days. It could be the day Forest avoid relegation if they win or West Ham lose to Arsenal straight after Forest's game. Elliot Anderson got the Reds goal late on against his former club after Harvey Barnes gave Newcastle the lead.
We'll be live to discuss whatever happens at 6.30pm after the West Ham game as Matt Davies is joined by Ruby Naylor, Simon Fotheringham and Will Tomlinson (WT Analysis) #nffc #nottinghamforest
