Nottingham Forest v Leeds United preview

Different rhythms

Forest have won two and drawn two of their last five matches. Leeds have won four of their last five, drawing the other, and arrive in sharper recent form. The last time these sides met, Forest lost 1-3; the meeting before that saw Forest win 3-1. The five meetings between them have produced 14 goals.

Opening weekend

Both clubs start on zero points from zero played. A win would take either to three points from one match, a draw to one point, a defeat to none. Leeds stayed in the division — How Farke kept Leeds in the Premier League traced the route to safety — and wrapped up the Elvedi signing. Forest begin the campaign level with most of the division, five of whom have yet to kick a ball.
