Nottingham Forest's trip to Crystal Palace could be worth £13.2m

Nottingham Forest travel to Crystal Palace this weekend safe in the knowledge that their Premier League status for another season is secured.

Last Saturday's 1-0 win over Arsenal secured their top-flight status whilst ending the Gunners' title challenge in the process.

The Reds will go into Sunday's game in South London without the stress of having to get a result. The relegation battle is now between Everton, Leicester City and Leeds.

But the game at Selhurst Park will have something on the line for Forest even if their main goal has already been achieved. Steve Cooper's side currently sit 16th in the table and are just two points behind Bournemouth in 15th.

And as reported in The Metro, each position in the top-flight is worth roughly £2.2 million. That means if Forest beat Palace and Bournemouth lose at Everton or draw and finish with an inferior goal difference, the Reds' prize money will go from £11m to £13.2m.

Although an extra few million pounds will not make or break a Premier League club, it could provide a useful boost for the club in the transfer market for example.

With the Cherries travelling to an Everton side who will probably need to win, Forest could have an excellent opportunity on Sunday to move up the table and earn some extra cash going into the summer.

The full table of prize money on offer for each position is shown below...

1. £44 million

2. £41.8 million

3. £39.6 million

4. £37.4 million

5. £35.2 million

6. £33.0 million

7. £30.8 million

8. £28.6 million

9. £26.4 million

10. £24.2 million

11. £22.0 million

12. £19.8 million

13. £17.6 million

14. £15.4 million

15. £13.2 million

16. £11 million

17. £8.8 million

18. £6.6 million

19. £4.4 million

20. £2.2 million
