Leeds United will be looking to win back-to-back matches in the Championship this afternoon when they take on Nottingham Forest at Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side will head into the match against Forest on the back of a 3-1 victory over Bristol City away from home in the league.

The performance of the Whites last weekend was brilliant, and the Elland Road faithful will hope that the team play just as well and get a win yet again.

Meanwhile, Forest will head into this afternoon’s match against Leeds on the back of a 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at the City Ground in the Championship.

This is how Leeds and Forest will line up for the Championship match at Elland Road this afternoon:

Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah has explained his decision to move to Leeds on transfer deadline day.

The 20-year-old forward has joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Arsenal.

Nketiah told Leeds’s official website: “It’s been flattering to have a lot of interest, but Leeds, with the fan base from what I have seen on social media has been really welcoming.

“The style of play was also a big part in me coming here over other clubs, this is the play that I like and feel like I will suit.

“The methods of the manager are great and hopefully I can add my own spin and help take the club forward.”

Leeds midfielder Adam Forshaw has praised his teammates Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford.

Forshaw said about Phillips, as quoted in Leeds Live: “Selfish point of view, I want him here so we can get promoted.”

The midfielder added about Bamford, as quoted in Leeds Live: “Showed every sign of his game. He’s flying and looking fit. Very confident.”
