Nottingham Forest will take on Leeds in the Premier League on Sunday, 9 November, in a match that could have a huge impact on the battle to beat the drop.
Nottingham Forest come into the match inside the bottom three, five points behind Leeds, who are in 16th. A win for the away team on Sunday would give them a healthy cushion heading into the November international break.

Nottingham Forest preview: Wood is 50/50
Chris Wood remains a doubt for Nottingham Forest ahead of this one, so Dyche may decide to wait until after the international break to bring him back into the fold. Ola Aina and Oleksandr Zinchenko are both confirmed absentees, but the duo are expected to return sooner rather than later.
Predicted lineup: Sels (GK), Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Yates, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Jesus

- Sturm Graz 0-0 Nottingham Forest

Leeds preview: Bogle is okay to play
After fending off a short illness, Jayden Bogle has been passed fit to play in this one, in a big boost for Daniel Farke. There are lingering doubts about the availability of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, though, although there is no guarantee he would start the match anyway.
Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Longstaff, Stach, James, Nmecha, Okafor
Last five results
- Brighton 3-0 Leeds
- Leeds 2-1 West Ham
- Burnley 2-0 Leeds
- Leeds 1-2 Tottenham
- Leeds 2-2 Bournemouth
Player to watch: Morgan Gibbs-White
Morgan Gibbs-White has had a rollercoaster of a week. He had a brilliant game against Man Utd last weekend and scored a wonderful header to get his side back into the game. However, he then missed a penalty to win Forest their Europa League match on Thursday night. How will he respond on Sunday?
