Nottingham Forest's final match of the regular season takes place tonight and there is plenty at stake as they face Stoke City at The City Ground (kick-off 7.30pm).
The Reds need just one point to secure their place in the top six, while a win would secure fifth place in the table and mean Forest face the fourth-placed side in the play-offs.
Stoke arrive on Trentside knowing that their place in the Championship is secure, with their 1-0 win against Brentford last weekend ensuring their survival.
