Nottingham Forest are in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League but could their season get even better?
In a season where Nottingham Forest have defied expectations in the Premier League, manager Nuno Espirito Santo was again keen to play down their ambitions and keep his side focused."We can prepare for Bournemouth," said Nuno as he deliberately swerved the question. "We saw how well they did yesterday. It is going to be very tough."
They also have the same number of points as Leicester had at the same stage of their iconic Premier League title-winning season, although the Foxes were joint top at this point rather than attempting to make up a six-point deficit. They are six points clear of fifth-placed Newcastle and seven ahead of Chelsea and Bournemouth in sixth and seventh.
Nuno's side continue to outperform their expected goals - the metric used to assess the quality of a chance.
