Preview: Nottingham Forest vs. Leeds United

Nottingham Forest take on Leeds United on Sunday with both sides currently occupying playoff spots in the Championship.

The fifth- and sixth-placed teams in the Championship clash on Sunday as Nottingham Forest host Leeds United at the City Ground.

Forest had failed to score in two previous draws before they beat Queens Park Rangers on Boxing Day to move just six points behind them in the Championship table.

Leeds, like their hosts, are unbeaten in five games with two wins and three draws keeping them just ahead of Ipswich Town in seventh.

Both managers could be tempted to name unchanged lineups, but Brian McDermott might reshuffle his defence slightly after they were pegged back by Blackpool in their last game.
