  2. Sutton's predictions: Nottingham Forest v Leicesterpublished at 10:41 11 May

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    I am at this game for BBC Radio 5 Live and it is a must-win for Nottingham Forest in the top-five race.

    The pressure is off Leicester because they are already down and they are probably still smiling after getting a rare win over Southampton last time out, when Jamie Vardy scored his 199th goal for the Foxes.

    I bet Vardy would dearly love to get goal number 200 against Forest's rivals before he leaves the club in the summer, and this game does have a whiff of being one where he has a say in keeping Forest out of the Champions League places

    Still, if both teams play anything like they have done all season then this is a Forest win, easily.

    Chris Wood scored twice in a 3-1 win at the King Power in October and although his goals have dried up a bit, I can see him getting back on the scoresheet here.

    The result is really all that matters for Forest, because they need to get to the last game of the season in touch with Chelsea before they meet in what might turn out to be a Champions League play-off.

    Forest are playing catch-up at the moment but, with West Ham up next after this, I still think they have a very good chance of making it.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-0

  4. Van Nistelrooy on his future, Vardy's landmark and Monga's GCSEspublished at 12:45 9 May

    Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (kick-off 14:15 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • On team news: "There is an update on Facundo Buonanotte who is back after his concussion against Wolves. He came through the process well and is available for Sunday."

    • Van Nistelrooy has also confirmed that the players that were out before the Southampton game remain sidelined.

    • He said Leicester "wanted to break the cycle" of the lack of home games with goals and were "motivated to do so" against Southampton. The Dutch manager was delighted with the minutes that the academy players had.

    • On his future: "I wish I could share more and obviously we will when there is news. Sharing the information with the fanbase regarding the club is very important that I think we should do. When it's there, we will do it."

    • On Jeremy Monga starting his GCSEs: "He is reporting everyday. And I am asking him the questions on maths and if he's studied it. Thank God Saturday and Sunday there is no school so he will be available. That's what a special talent brings to the table."

    • Van Nistelrooy reiterated that there is a bit of frustration with the absence of "clarity" as it is important "to move forward" as the clarity "will only help".

    • On Jamie Vardy chasing 200 goals: "13 years, all the goals he's scored and the trophies he's won and being so loyal to this football club in good and in bad. We all want to give him the best possible farewell and of course there is no better way to get him on the scoresheet than getting the ball in the areas where he can be dangerous and he will do his business. That is a big motivation not only in the players but the staff as well."

    • On Forest: "It's a derby and it's a special game for both fanbases. Obviously, Forest being in a position where they can reach the Champions League is a big thing for them. So, they will be totally ready and totally the favourites but we want to perform to our best and show that we want to compete."
