"Starting with the hosts, blown away at the hands of leading title contenders Arsenal last weekend as they eventually slumped to a 4-0 drumming at Elland Road, Leeds will be desperately searching for an immediate response here. Opening Friday's showdown in Yorkshire holding a six-point buffer over the drop zone, Daniel Farke's men will be more than aware that they face a season-defining battle."
"Despite registering just a sole Premier League win over the past six weeks, the former Norwich boss has seen his squad gain a reputation for their overall rugged success. Including a last-gasp 1-0 victory against Fulham on January 17th, Leeds have lost just a pair of their previous 12 appearances across all competitions - a run that stems all the way back to the end of November."
Leeds will welcome Nottingham Forest to Elland Road in a potentially season-defining fixture, with Over 1.5 goals priced 2/5 by Dachbet. Leeds suffered a 4-0 loss to Arsenal but remain six points clear of the drop and have lost just two of their last 12 matches across all competitions. Jaka Bijol and Dan James are out with hamstring injuries, while Sean Longstaff could start after returning from a muscle issue. Karl Darlow is expected to keep goal and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will spearhead the attack. Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace and remain close to the relegation zone; their FA Cup run ended in a shock loss to a Championship outfit.
