Nottingham Forest 1-0 Leeds United highlights: Dominant Whites leave City Ground empty-handed
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds United return to Premier League action today, facing newly-promoted Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The Whites will be without Rodrigo Moreno or Robin Koch for this afternoon’s fixture as the former misses out through injury, while German international Koch is suspended after accruing five bookings during the first half of the season.
United boss Jesse Marsch will be able to call on three new signings in Max Wober, Georginio Rutter and Weston McKennie as the trio joined during last month’s January transfer window. Rutter made his Leeds debut last weekend away to Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup Fourth Round, and is expected to make his Premier League bow today. USMNT midfielder McKennie is also in contention to feature, according to Marsch.

Still trailing 1-0...
The blueprint for playing Leeds United this season is clear: take the lead, settle into a low-medium block and pack the middle, bring a fresh, heavy-pressing midfielder on if you've got one and work the counter. Personnel changes week-to-week but Leeds can't break teams down.
