Leeds United host Nottingham Forest in the Championship on Wednesday (7.45pm kick-off) hoping to bridge the gap between themselves and the top two.

Garry Monk’s side saw their six-match unbeaten run in the league come to an end at the hands of Yorkshire rivals Barnsley last week, with the Tykes coming from behind to secure a 3-2 win over the Whites.

It meant that Monk’s men lost ground on the automatic promotions places after a ninth loss of the campaign, as they now find themselves nine points behind second place Brighton, who themselves have a game in hand.

However, Leeds have the chance to get back to winning ways against a Nottingham Forest side that are without a manager following Philippe Montanier’s departure last week.
