Nottingham Forest tipped to fulfil Evangelos Marinakis' unlikely ambition
Nottingham Forest will fulfil Evangelos Marinakis’ massive ambition by qualifying for the Champions League this season.
That’s according a supercomputer that has predicted the Reds will finish fourth, just one point behind Manchester City but four ahead of Saturday’s conquerors Bournemouth – who could also qualify in fifth.
Liverpool’s comfortable 4-1 win over Ipswich means the supercomputer, put together by Casino Hawks, has now predicted them to win the Premier League title by 12 points from Arsenal.

City and Forest are tipped to make up the rest of the top four, Andoni Iraola’s Cherries are set to clinch fifth, while Tottenham’s dismal 2-1 loss at home to Leicester means they are now expected to finish 15th win just 37 points.
Leicester’s victory moves their projected position up to 17th and out of the relegation zone come the end of the season, with Ipswich, Wolves and Southampton dropping down to the Championship.
If Forest do finish fourth, that would represent a remarkable achievement for a club that ended a 27-year Premier League exile just a couple of seasons ago. Even as Forest came up from the Championship Marinakis was speaking bolding about going on to win trophies. He has never hid his ambition to reach the very pinnacle of the game with the Reds.
