Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth: Premier League preview

Goal difference means it's extremely unlikely that Bournemouth will go past Liverpool into fifth. That being the case, this is what Iraola and the Cherries need to happen this afternoon.

Firstly, a draw Forest at the City Ground would take them beyond the reach of Brighton & Hove Albion and lock in sixth place. Only the Seagulls can catch them and they'd need to beat Manchester United to do it even if Bournemouth lose.

Secondly, they need Villa to drop to fifth – the league's 'extra' Champions League spot – in order for sixth to make the cut. That can only happen if Villa lose to Manchester City and Liverpool beat Brentford.

If Villa finish fourth, Liverpool in fifth will claim that extra spot and leave sixth and seventh to qualify for the Europa League.

The Cherries will say goodbye to Iraola after today's match, with former RB Leipzig head coach Marco Rose to take over in the summer. The Basque boss has delivered Bournemouth's highest ever league finish in successive seasons.

Their final opponents of the season have had a tumultuous season. Vitor Pereira is Forest's fourth manager of the campaign and took his team to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Pereira also guided Forest away from the relegation zone after a season under the genuine threat of the drop. It's going to be an intriguing summer on the banks of the Trent and a fascinating start of 2026-27 too.

For now, though, 15th place is the short-term target. Forest can't move backwards in the table today and can only catch Crystal Palace in the other direction. Bournemouth might just have landed on the perfect final fixture.
