Forest boost chances as Champions League race intensifies

London, Apr 2 (UNI) Nottingham Forest boosted their hopes of qualifying for Europe's top competition with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at the City Ground on Tuesday.
Nuno Espirito Santo's sides remain third in the Premier League with an eight-point lead over fourth-placed Chelsea, who host Tottenham on Thursday, and a Champions League place appears to be in their grasp, the BBC reported.
Data analysts Opta now have Forest at 82% to finish in the top four and more than 93% for a top five position, through their prediction models.
A brilliant run in the FA Cup has also contributed to Forest's stellar season as they booked their place in the semi-final, where they will face Manchester City, with victory over Brighton on Saturday.
BBC Radio 5 Live pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Andy Reid said Forest are in a "strong position" to qualify for next year's competition but that there is still a "long way to go".
As for the Forest camp, they're not getting ahead of themselves.
Captain Ryan Yates said: "We have got the FA Cup to focus on and we have got the league. We are at Villa Park Saturday and they're flying. We take each game as it comes."
Espirito Santo was even less interested in entertaining discussion of Forest achieving those dreams, saying: "Let's focus on the next one. It is day-by-day."
Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton, Aston Villa and Bournemouth are all in action on Wednesday with just five points separating fourth to 10th place in the table.
