How to watch Nottingham Forest v Chelsea from anywhere
Away from your home country right now? That doesn't mean you have to miss out on Forest vs Chelsea.
A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world, which is handy for watching football on the move.
Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you subscribe to back home. It also comes with added internet security benefits.
FourFourTwo’s colleagues at TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea: Match Preview
With the title race and relegation dogfight both long since over, the jeopardy on the final day of the Premier League season falls to the Champions League hunt, with this clash between Forest and Chelsea the pick of the bunch.
There are five teams in a scrap for the final three remaining Champions League spots, and this is a direct confrontation between two of them.
Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League table on 66 points, currently occupying that last spot. Forest are in seventh, but just one point behind.
Victory for Chelsea would secure Champions League football next term for Enzo Maresca's side, while a draw would leave them dependent on Aston Villa failing to beat Man United. Forest cannot draw or lose, and even if they win, they would also be dependent on Villa failing to beat United.
It's not just the Champions League at stake – 6th place gets Europa League football. Forest could snatch it with a draw if Villa lose, while Chelsea could miss out on Europe entirely if they are beaten and Villa win.
For Chelsea, Champions League football represents the bare minimum of the owners' aspirations, while for Forest it would be something of a fairytale for a team that was battling relegation last season and playing in the Championship just a couple of years ago.
