Nottingham Forest lose appeal against four-point deduction
Nottingham Forest have lost their appeal against a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's spending rules. The rejection of their appeal gives Luton Town a glimmer of hope of avoiding relegation — Luton are in 18th place in the Premier League table, three points behind Forest, and each club have two games still to play this season. Burnley, who are second from bottom and five points from safety, will also be buoyed by the news, especially given they play Forest on the final day — although they must beat Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday to stay in contention.
