Confirmed line-ups as Sean Dyche looks for first league victory


Nottingham Forest welcome Leeds to the City Ground with Sean Dyche going in search of his first Premier League win as Forest boss.

The hosts are currently second from bottom having won just one of their 10 opening league matches after a disastrous start to the season that has seen them already part ways with two different managers.

Forest fans, who were left frustrated by a goalless stalemate in midweek, will be hopeful Dyche’s appointment will help steady a ship that has leaked 19 goals in the league this term, and scored just seven – the joint-fewest in the top-flight.

Leeds, meanwhile, have won just once in their last five outings and have kept just two clean sheets all season.

Daniel Farke’s side are currently in 16th spot, one point above the drop zone.

Dyche has made five changes to the side that started the Europa League clash with Sturm Graz on Thursday.
