Nottingham Forest

Crystal Palace vs Leicester and Nottingham Forest vs Wolves puts four teams against each other in the battle to avoid Premier League relegation.

With the visitors in 13th, and the hosts in 16th, three points today will be a big boost as they try to avoid the drop. Brazilian Danilo back in the starting 11 as Nottingham Forest try to tame Wolves. Will that throw another firework in the battle at the bottom? The Cherries choose an unaltered line-up to try and defeat Fulham today. Marcus Tavernier cuts in for the hosts, and smashes a peach of a ball into the top corner of the net. A header from the captain and Brentford lead at Brighton. He's on from the start today, and he's delivered 10 minutes in. It's all going on at the AmEx. It's condemned Leicester City to the relegation zone, and it's given Crystal Palace a glimmer of hope after a difficult time. Daniel Podence for the visitors, as Nottingham Forest see their lead go with seven minutes to play. It's what the battle to beat the drop can do to you. The bottom two face off tomorrow afternoon - and defeat for either will be devastating.

The report concluded that Wolves bore a "higher responsibility for the mass confrontation", with Lopetegui criticised for confronting ex-Wolves midfielder ...

Maybe all of us can do better for sure.” “You have to compete well, defend well, attack well and have a big demand and focus in each moment. Each one of us chooses which way to live our life and do our job, of course. "It was the extremely ill-judged action and timing of Julen Lopetegui approaching Morgan Gibbs-White to remonstrate with him that was the catalyst for what followed,” it said. But Lopetegui says he will keep his emotions in check as they prepare for a massive game for both sides. Both clubs were charged by the Football Association for a melee which broke out at the end of the EFL Cup tie in January.

Daniel Podence scored a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at relegation rivals Nottingham Forest after Brennan Johnson had scored the first goal.

José Sá started to come out but hesitated, inviting Johnson to dispatch the perfect half-volley through the goalkeeper’s legs for his 10th goal of the season. “I’ve seen it back and spoken to Brennan,” the Forest manager said. So you have to trust the authorities to deal with it and we’ll trust that processes will kick in.” In January, Wolves and Forest were fined and charged with failing to keep their players under control after Cooper’s side won the Carabao Cup quarter-final here on penalties.

Marinakis supported Cooper in October after a 4-0 thrashing at Leicester and must now decide whether to do so again. Gibbs-White and Danilo combined well but Ruben Neves missed his chance to tackle Danilo, whose lofted pass caught Toti Gomes out of position. Wolves remain a point above Forest, who are two clear of the relegation zone.

A late strike from substitute Daniel Podence rescued Wolves a point in their crunch relegation scrap away at Nottingham Forest.

Neto had a shot that was blocked and the ball fell kindly to Podence, who turned inside his defender and smashed the ball into the top corner. As the game entered five minutes of added time, a VAR check was made for a possible red card on Podence. The Wolves bench appealed, prompting the Forest bench to react angrily, before a member of the Forest staff shoved Wolves coach Sanz, and a melee ensued between both benches. Johnson went down in the box under a challenge from Toti, but referee Chris Kavanagh gave Wolves a free-kick and booked Johnson for diving. Wolves did not take advantage of that pressure and then allowed Forest to take a grip of the game. Wolves were camped in their own box but some poor Forest decision-making saved them, when the chance to take a shot came their way. Wolves failed to register a shot on target in that first half. The decision was the correct one, but Toti certainly took a chance with some hands-on defending. Toti against Johnson was always going to be a big battle in this game, and the Wolves defender did well with his first test. Following that, Wolves enjoyed a spell of pressure and created a good chance. On the other flank and heading in the opposite direction, Adama did well with his first attack. Youngsters Dexter Lembikisa and Joe Hodge both played for the under-21s on Friday night and were not involved, while Hwang Hee-chan was sidelined with a knock.

But it did look like a spitting action into Johnson’s face, which is disgusting to see.”

Nottingham Forest were denied a crucial victory as Daniel Podence struck a late equaliser for Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 1 -1 draw.

Podence appeared to spit in the direction of Forest’s Brennan Johnson in the final stages, and though a Var review failed to produce conclusive evidence, the Portugal international could now face retrospective action. “Each match is going to be a challenge and to win each match in the Premier League is very difficult and we have to be ready to continue in the fight.” “We are working for a lot of people, a lot of kids, and we have to show a big respect between us. “In these kind of matches there is big emotion and it’s important to keep the emotion in football,” he said. Wolves and Forest were both fined by the FA following their Carabao Cup tie in January after a huge melee following the match. This was another tempestuous derby with Cooper’s assistant Alan Tate and Wolves assistant coach Pablo Sanz dismissed early in the second half following a mass confrontation in the technical area.

The Football Association is looking into a spitting allegation against Wolves forward Daniel Podence.

"But at our stadium we cannot let opposing staff dominate officials and try and influence the game. "We were prepared for it. I remember what happened and I don't want to talk too much on it to be honest. "We know, and I don't say this disrespectfully, but there has been a lot of ill-discipline on the Wolves touchline since the change of manager," said Cooper. "I saw a similar sort of motion come from him but at the end of the day they had a look at it and it didn't happen so it is what it is." I can't remember it too clearly.

Wolves started the game brightly, with Adama Traore carving inroads from the right channel but Forest increasingly began to take charge and took the lead through a neatly-worked goal from Brennan Johnson. It was an important point for Wolves who must do without Neves for two games after their captain collected his 10th yellow card of the season. Jonny Evans was suspended for six games in March 2015 at Manchester United when he was found guilty of spitting at Papiss Cisse, and Podence may face similar punishment if the FA conclude he spat in Johnson’s face. Chaos was never far away and though Wolves dominated possession, they had to wait until the 83rd minute to equalise when Podence cut inside Neco Williams to blast the ball past Keylor Navas. The FA have confirmed they are looking into Johnson's suggestion that he was spat at by Podence. Podence fired home his sixth goal of the season by opening up his body and curling past Keylor Navas to grab a point at the City Ground. It ended a run of seven Premier League appearances without a goal for the Portuguese, but Wolves will be frustrated they did not create more openings. Podence appeared to spit in the direction of Forest’s Brennan Johnson in the final stages, and though a Var review failed to produce conclusive evidence, the Portugal international could now face retrospective action. Moussa Niakhate almost gifted them a goal when he turned Matheus Nunes' cross onto his own crossbar in the first half, and Nunes also flicked a chance wide. Tempers flared again in the closing stages when Johnson appeared to suggest Podence spat in his direction, but Chris Kavanagh took no action after a VAR check. After this latest fiery clash between the Midlands rivals, the FA are likely to be call into action again. But their performance could have been better, with their only shot on target coming in the form of Podence's goal.
