Leeds United will face Nottingham Forest at Elland Road on Friday night, looking for their first win in February and to create some space from the relegation zone.
Their recent unbeaten streak ended with a 4–0 loss to league leaders Arsenal. Despite this setback, manager Daniel Farke is optimistic about his team’s performance at home. Leeds have won all four of their night games this season. A win would also help them recover from a 3–1 defeat at City Ground in November and is vital for their Premier League survival.
Leeds United Team News
Farke welcomes back some key defensive players. Jaka Bijol and James Justin have returned to training and are ready to play. However, Anton Stach is out for up to two weeks due to a hip issue, joining long-term injured player Lukas Nmecha. Farke may rely on Daniel James to add speed from the bench.
Karl Darlow will remain as goalkeeper, with Sebastiaan Bornauw likely stepping into the back three. Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev will strengthen the midfield. Brenden Aaronson aims to be the creative force, having scored first in his last six appearances. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the attack and needs just one more goal to be the first English player in over a decade to reach double digits in his first top-flight season with the club.
Leeds United Predicted Lineup
Predicted XI: Darlow; Bornauw, Rodon, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Gruev, Justin; Stach, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin
