Nottingham Forest ace hopes for an easy game against Arsenal, hopes they are out of the title race.
Nottingham Forest play Arsenal in the season's penultimate game, and star player Morgan Gibbs-White hopes the Gunners' title chances have disappeared at that point to give his team a better fighting chance against Mikel Arteta's men.
The Tricky Trees were 4-3 winners against Southampton today, lifting themselves out of the relegation zone. Their fate will be decided in the three games left in the season, which include games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
What Gibbs-White said
The former Wolves midfielder was speaking after the triumph over the Saints when he broke down their remaining fixtures and their chances of Premier League survival.
He admits that their upcoming fixtures are tough but believes his team can pick up points from those games.
They travel to Stamford Bridge this weekend to face Chelsea, fresh off their first win in seven league games, and he hopes they are able to pick up points against Lampard's men.
Against Arsenal, however, he understands the difficulty. He hopes they are without the extra motivation the title race provides, praying their chances have plummeted by the time they have to play them.
