Nottingham Forest XI vs Leeds United – Predicted lineup and team news
Nottingham Forest travel to Elland Road on Friday night, aiming to secure their first top-flight league double over Leeds United since 1996.
Sean Dyche’s side has moved into their most consistent form of the season, arriving in West Yorkshire on a four-match unbeaten run. The Tricky Trees have been particularly clinical away from home recently, with four of their last five top-flight victories coming on the road. While they face a Leeds side currently level with them on 26 points, Forest will be confident of replicating their 3–1 win from the reverse fixture to climb further into mid-table safety.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Sean Dyche manages a squad significantly depleted by a combination of suspension and injury. Notably, Neco Williams is unavailable following a suspension, while first-choice goalkeeper Matz Sels is out with a muscle issue. Consequently, January signing Stefan Ortega is expected to make his full debut between the posts. The visitors are also without Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Stefan Ortega will start behind a backline featuring Ola Aina and Nikola Milenkovic. In midfield, Ibrahim Sangaré and Elliot Anderson are expected to anchor the side. The primary creative responsibility falls to Morgan Gibbs-White, who has been involved in four goals in his last five appearances. Igor Jesus is poised to lead the attack, supported by Dan Ndoye, as Forest look to improve a shot conversion rate that currently ranks as one of the lowest in the division.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup
Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Ortega; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato; Sangare, Anderson; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Dominguez; Jesus
