What is at stake for Sunderland and Nottingham Forest?

With five games left to play this season, Sunderland do still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe.

Regis Le Bris's side are just four points off sixth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion and have a game in hand which could prove vital.

The Black Cats head into Friday's game off the back of a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Aston Villa, which saw Tammy Abraham net a stoppage-time winner after Sunderland scored in the 86th and 87th minute to draw level.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions and have moved five points clear of relegation rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

However, they could still be dragged into the bottom three and Friday's trip to Sunderland is the start of a testing end to the season that will see them also face Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Bournemouth.

A victory over Sunderland would be huge for their survival hopes, but it is worth noting that Forest have only beaten them once in their last seven meetings across all competitions.
