Nottingham Forest v Leeds United team newsWeston McKennie, who has joined Leeds on loan from Juventus, has won 41 caps for the USATEAM NEWSNottingham Forest could give debuts to new signings such as Keylor Navas, Andre Ayew and Felipe. Midfielder Ryan Yates remains out through illness but is expected to resume training in a couple of weeks. Leeds will be without Rodrigo for two months because of an ankle injury, while Robin Koch is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards.
It's been a long time since Leeds picked up three points, however, and I don't think their wait will end this weekend. I've said it many times before, but it is too easy to get at them. Prediction: 2-2Sutton's full predictions v DJ SchakMATCH FACTSHead-to-headLeeds are winless in 12 top-flight matches away to Nottingham Forest since a 2-0 victory in November 1971, when Peter Lorimer and Allan Clarke were on target (D7, L5). The Whites' only previous top-flight wins away to Forest all came with either Don Revie as manager (five victories between 1966 and 1971) or Revie in the starting line-up as a player (one win in 1959). The Yorkshire club have won two of their last 15 league fixtures against Forest (D6, L7), with all those games coming in the Championship. Nottingham ForestNottingham Forest have only lost twice in 10 Premier League matches and are unbeaten in four top-flight fixtures in 2023 (W2, D2).

Those numbers are staggering and credit to Forest boss Steve Cooper for knitting a completely new team together, while continuing to add to it. Their results have been getting better too - yes, they are out of both cups now but they are four games unbeaten in the Premier League. That's been enough for them to move above a Leeds side who have travelled in the opposite direction down the table but it is so close at the bottom that Jesse Marsch's side would move back above them with a win.
Forest lost three of their opening four home league games in 2022-23 but are unbeaten in their subsequent six. Steve Cooper's side have scored the opening goal in eight of their 10 Premier League home matches this season, a joint high prior to the latest round of fixtures. They have recorded 64 shots on target, the lowest figure in the top flight this term. Leeds UnitedLeeds have won all five of their Premier League away matches against newly promoted opposition since returning to the top flight in 2020, scoring 14 goals and conceding three.
