The Reds have announced their intention to appeal the sanction, which they consider excessive. They hope for a reduction in the punishment, with an announcement expected early in the week.

An independent commission will make the final decision, and it could have significant implications for the relegation battle. Currently in 17th place with 26 points, Forest are above the relegation line and have three matches left to secure their position.

They have only earned 10 points from a possible 45, putting them in a precarious position, although they have favorable remaining fixtures and the best goal difference among the bottom three teams. Luton, although struggling, will aim to gather points in their remaining matches.

Conversely, if Burnley can maintain a narrow gap to 17th place before the final day of the season, they may have a chance to avoid relegation. The final game against Forest could be crucial, depending on Luton’s position at that time.
