On Sunday afternoon, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest will play their final Premier League games at Selhurst Park.
It should be a rather lighthearted environment between two teams separated by five positions and seven points in the rankings.
Their previous meeting this season concluded in a 1-0 win for Forest, courtesy of Morgan Gibbs-White, however it was a mostly forgettable match with only two shots on goal over the course of 90 minutes.

Nottingham Forest team news
Steve Cooper will be able to rotate his squad given that Forest are guaranteed a place in the Premier League, but he will still want to win the game because positional prize money is at risk.
Given the club’s recent form, a formation change is doubtful, but a few player changes are possible, with Wayne Hennessey, Willy Boly, Remo Freuler, and Brennan Johnson among those who could play on the last day.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest score prediction
With nothing on the line in south London, this game may either be a flop of poor quality or a free-flowing, dynamic battle that throws caution to the wind.
Palace’s home record isn’t very great, having won just seven of their 18 games, but their 27-point haul is significantly superior to Forest’s poor away record. The Tricky Trees have only won once on the road, a 1-0 victory over relegated Southampton, and have conceded 43 goals.
The talent of Ebere Eze and Michael Olise might be the difference in a season that no one expected to finish with Roy Hodgson in charge.
