Nottingham Forest's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Porto is fast approaching, so we asked if you would rather see Vitor Pereira rotate his squad again with Premier League survival in mind or go all out in the hope of reaching a European semi-final.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Jack: The focus has to be on the Premier League with the position that we are in. I can't see us getting past Aston Villa in the semi-finals anyway, but regardless we must not get relegated and risk our entire squad being dismantled. For me, he should rotate with an eye on Burnley.

Tim: In a relegation scrap, at the business end of the season, morale is just as important as fitness. He should go full strength in the first half and play a low block to see the game out. The only bad outcomes are chasing a lost cause and extra time.

Ken: It will be a case of half and half hopefully, with a strong bench. I would start Awoniyi up top and Ortega in goal to protect the defence. I would give everyone else 45-60 minutes. Sunday's game is the really important one.

Richard: He has to play our strongest team. There is too much at stake!

Tony: I'd prefer to rotate and keep our best for the league. However, the possibility of winning the Europa League, and being a Championship team in Europe, has a sort of romance about it! Being relegated and out of the Europa League is an option I can't bring myself to think about. We must stay up at all costs, regroup and go for top half next season.

Reidy: Win this, beat Aston Villa in semi-finals, and who knows! The league will take care of itself, if we keep picking up points here and there, because Spurs look doomed.

Steve: I would suggest starting with the 'strongest side' but, following the poor display against Aston Villa, I'm not convinced those players are committed enough.
