Morgan Gibbs-White is Forest’s creative hub with 12 goals and 15 assists last season. Ethan Ampadu will man-mark him — it is the duel that defines this game. Elanga and Hudson-Odoi provide the pace on the counter. Leeds’ weakness is defending transitions — Forest’s greatest strength.
Gnonto and Summerville provide Leeds’ width. The City Ground factor is real — Forest lost only three times at home last season. The last meeting here finished 3-1 to Forest. Expect a tight, tense affair decided by a moment of individual quality in front of a raucous Trent End.

Nott'm Forest's Approach
Nuno Espírito Santo has Forest playing pragmatic, counter-attacking football. The 4-2-3-1 shape absorbs pressure and releases through the pace of Elanga and Hudson-Odoi on the flanks. Gibbs-White is the creative hub — everything goes through him. At the City Ground, Forest are a different beast entirely.
Leeds United's Approach
Leeds under Daniel Farke play high-octane pressing football — the Bielsa DNA still runs through this squad. The 4-2-3-1 demands relentless running from the front three. Gnonto and Summerville provide the width; Piroe leads the line. Leeds' weakness is defending transitions — exactly where Forest thrive.
