Former Derby County player and manager Gary Rowett is hoping Nottingham Forest lose at Bournemouth on Tuesday (kick-off 7pm).
The Millwall boss will lead his team against Bournemouth on the final day of the season as the Lions chase a last-ditch play-off spot. The hope for Rowett is that the Cherries will have already secured promotion with a win over Forest, so they will be a little more relaxed going into their final-day fixture.
He has admitted, though, that he will not watch Forest's game against Bournemouth because he is "not that sadistic", although he will almost certainly be keeping on eye on the score.

"If Bournemouth can beat Forest on Tuesday and get promoted, then maybe their mindset is slightly different in the last game," Rowett said. "I won't watch it live, I am not that sadistic, fortunately.
"I love Championship football, so I love watching the games on TV as a fan and I will be really interested to see what happens. It's a great encounter, Forest are in sparkling form and Bournemouth have picked up recently so it is going to be a great game to watch.
"I made a very, very poor decision to watch Middlesbrough v Cardiff and QPR v Sheffield United and hated every bit of it. When you need someone to help you, which is not their problem, watching those games is frustrating because you are hoping they are a little bit more competitive. But I respect the fact they've taken care of their business."
Rowett played Forest's rivals Derby from 1995-1998 and managed them between March 2017 and May 2018.
