Friday night. Elland Road. Same points. Proper pressure. Join Greg, Richard, Raf, The Random Pundit and Premier Elliot at 12pm as we preview Leeds United vs Nottingham Forest — a game that feels massive because it is massive. Both teams go into it level on 26 points, and with the table tightening, this one isn’t about “performances” — it’s about who holds their nerve. What we’ll cover: Why this fixture matters for both clubs right now (momentum, margins, mindset) Forest’s approach under Dyche — structure, game management, and where the goals have to come from Leeds at Elland Road on a Friday night — intensity, tempo, and what Forest must survive early Key battles: set-pieces, second balls, transitions, and the midfield fight Selection headaches and how suspensions/injuries could shape the plan Leeds come into this after a bruising 4–0 home defeat to Arsenal, while Forest are coming off a gritty 1–1 draw with Crystal Palace where they played a full second half with ten men — so there’s a real question of legs vs adrenaline on the night.

Forest went in front through Morgan Gibbs-White, but the game turned just before half-time when Neco Williams was sent off for a goal-line handball, bringing Palace level from the penalty spot.

Greg Oram & Richard Spray are joined by Jamie Tatler to dig into how Forest adjusted after the red card, why Palace struggled to impose themselves and whether this point should be viewed as quietly encouraging.
