Leeds United v Nottingham Forest press conference details - injuries and questions for Jesse Marsch

The Whites started the season like a house on fire, picking up wins over Wolves and Chelsea in the Premier League and Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

But one point from their last three games has given the Forest game a little more impetus and become a chance to get back on track, against a newly-promoted club.

The Premier League is yet to make an announcement on whether or not the weekend’s games will go ahead after the death of The Queen, but if they do Marsch will sit down with the press at 1.30pm and this will be the agenda.

Team news

The club said on Saturday that Rasmus Kristensen was expected to be fine for Nottingham Forest but a report emerged from The Telegraph's Mike McGrath in midweek that cast doubt on the Dane's involvement.

Is Luke Ayling fit enough, after a 20-minute cameo at Brentford, to start at right-back or will Marsch once again turn to youngster Cody Drameh? Is Junior Firpo close to a return at left-back, or even a place on the bench on Monday?

Elsewhere Marsch has a potential selection dilemma up front with Patrick Bamford champing at the bit to take on his boyhood club, with the benefit of 45 minutes in London at the weekend.

Liam Cooper could come in too, after making a return to the matchday squad at the weekend.

And will Willy Gnonto be involved in the squad just yet or is it too soon for the new signing?

The opposition

Nottingham Forest are, as Joe Gelhardt joked this week, 'difficult to analyse' thanks to an influx of summer signings far beyond that at most other clubs. How does Marsch go about preparing for Steve Cooper's challenge and what, other than a difficult game, is he expecting from them?

Form

How has the mood been in the camp this week after that 5-2 defeat at Brentford and what has Marsch done to lift it? He has been keen to stress that some of the fanfare after the Chelsea victory may have been a little over the top, even warning prior to Brighton that a 'smack in the face' is always around the corner in the Premier League. But the nature of that Brentford defeat must have come as a shock to the system of the new boys especially. Is the Forest game a vital one given the context of the last week or so?

Managing from the stand

Marsch received a red card on Saturday and an FA charge to boot, so does he expect to be on the touchline and has he appealed? He previously stated, about Thomas Tuchel, that it was only right to miss the next game after a red. And how will he deal with that scenario? Has he yet had the chance to discuss officiating with anyone in charge?

Managerial change

Was he surprised by Tuchel’s removal at Chelsea, or Graham Potter’s installation there?

Expect

Positivity. Determined talk of bouncing back and giving the fans a better performance.

Don't expect

Any declaration that Leeds are favourites against Forest or that any game at this stage of the season is must win.
