Nottingham Forest vs Leicester City odds and score prediction

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...

Nottingham Forest are ridiculously short in the betting here at 1/3 with Sky Bet, even against a team like Leicester, when you factor in what is on the line and the expectation on the home side to win the game. It's something they've not coped with at home, losing to both Everton and Brentford in front of a very nervy crowd.

So at the prices, Forest have to be taken on here, but I want to chase a bigger price in Jamie Vardy to score and be carded at 18/1 with Sky Bet.

Vardy will be relishing this occasion.

He needs just one goal to reach 200 for Leicester and you can see him doing it at the City Ground, with perhaps a prepared shirt underneath celebrating the milestone.

He's in the shop window too, isn't he? Strikers don't come more motivated when trying to play for a next contract so he's going to be doing his utmost to grab the limelight.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

The Race for the Champions League

The race for Champions League qualification is more competitive than ever with five Premier League teams guaranteed qualification, but who will make the cut?

The race for the top five is tight, with only four points separating Manchester City in third and Aston Villa in seventh.

Opta's supercomputer has run the numbers on each team's chances, so who do they expect to get over the line?

Premier League winners Liverpool have already guaranteed Champions League football, while Opta put Arsenal's prospects at 99.9 per cent.

Man City - who have a favourable run-in - now have a 98 per cent chance of making those Champions League spots

Chelsea occupy the fifth and final Champions League qualification spot but have moved level on points with Newcastle following their win over Liverpool on a day when Newcastle drew at Brighton.

Nottingham Forest missed the chance to join them on 63 points after a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Monday Night Football.

Aston Villa's prospects of qualifying for the Champions League are now rated at 16 per cent by Opta's supercomputer with Newcastle's at 76 per cent, Chelsea's at 68 per cent and Forest's at 43 per cent.

The run-in sees two games between Champions League hopefuls as Chelsea go to Newcastle on May 11, before Forest host Chelsea on the final day of the season.
