18:02
Burnley will head back to the Championship with a 2-1 defeat to Forest who confirmed their Premier League stay by finishing six points clear of third-from-bottom Luton Town. It was Wood, Burnley's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, who proved to be the difference between the two sides on the final day with a first-half double for Forest. The New Zealand striker opened the scoring in the second minute turning in a cross from Elanga before doubling the lead 12 minutes later. Cullen pulled one back for Burnley in the second half, but it was not to be for Kompany's side who finish their stay in the top flight with a record of five wins and nine draws. The Clarets recorded an impressive 20 shots at an xG of 1.21 at Turf Moor, compared to Forest's 12 shots and xG of 1.45, but their wastefulness in front of the goal proved to be their undoing on the final day. Thanks for tuning into the live coverage of the final day of the Premier League season and goodbye until next time.

Burnley have dominated the first half in terms of possession and shots fired. The Clarets have enjoyed 73.3% of the ball in the first half and registered 10 shots, compared to Forest's five. But unfortunately for Kompany's side, they are yet to record a shot on target in this fixture and only have an xG of 0.69 while the visiting side's two shots on target have led to two goals for Wood with Nuno's side having an xG of 1.01. Things are not looking good for the home side as their live win probability stands at 2.6% compared to Forest's 88.4%. A defeat today would mean that Burnley will end their Premier League stay by recording their fewest home wins ever across a league season!

16:58
We are halfway through the final game of the season at Turf Moor and it's visitors Forest who take a 2-0 advantage into the break against an already-relegated Burnley. It's the Claret's all-time leading Premier League scorer Wood who has haunted his former side in the first period as the New Zealand striker opened the scoring as early as the second minute. A second goal was added in the 14th minute with the 32-year-old having had to wait for the VAR to overturn an offside call, taking his tally to a joint personal best 14 goals for the Premier League season. Will Burnley find a way back in the second half to wave goodbye to the Premier League on a high or is it going to be Forest who will get the three points to confirm their stay in the top flight?

Meanwhile, another season in the English top flight is all but assured for Forest as they head into the final game of the campaign. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sit just above the drop zone and are only three points clear of third-from-bottom Luton Town after a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea in their last outing, but a vastly superior goal difference over the Hatters should ensure their safety irrespective of today’s outcome. It was Callum Hudson-Odoi who netted a stunning goal to cancel out Zeki Amdouni’s opener for Burnley as the two sides settled for a 1-1 draw in their most recent Premier League meeting.
Burnley vs Nottingham Forest
15:34
Burnley’s 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last week saw them get relegated back to the Championship after just one season but Vincent Kompany’s side have the chance to go out on a high when they host fourth-from-bottom Nottingham Forest at Turf Moor on the final matchday of the season. The Clarets will hope to maintain their unbeaten run against Forest this season as Kompany’s men edged their opponents 1-0 in the Carabao Cup in August before the two teams settled for a 1-1 draw in the league at the City Ground in September.
