THE BIGGER PICTURE
With a superior goal difference to those directly below them, Forest will be all but safe if Luton lose at West Ham and Burnley fail to win away at Tottenham.

Reyna has struggled for regular game time throughout his loan spell in England. He has started just two matches and seen only 230 minutes of Premier League action in total.
