Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side being drawn against Leeds United in the EFL Football Manager Cup.

The Football Manager tournament will kick off on Monday, with the final to be played in mid-May.

As many as 54 clubs from across the EFL will participate in the tournament, with each team being represented by a virtual manager.

It is a straight knockout competition, and in the first round, Forest will take on Championship rivals Leeds.

Lolley has admitted on Twitter that it will not be an easy match for Forest, and has suggested that Leeds will be 2-0 up at half time.

Premier League promotion push

The Reds are 10 points behind second-placed West Bromwich Albion and 11 points behind leaders Leeds.

Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it is not clear when the campaign will resume.
