Premier League's Champions League race tightens as Forest beat Spurs

LONDON -- Five teams, each with five games to play, and three Champions League spots up for grabs.

Nottingham Forest weren't supposed to be in that conversation, but they now lead the five-way race after their 2-1 win at Tottenham on Monday. With the result, Forest are turning the screws on Newcastle United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa.

The race for Champions League is where the excitement is at in the Premier League. The title race is as good as over with Liverpool needing just one more win to become champions -- they can seal the deal against Spurs at Anfield on Sunday.
