Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United live updates | OneFootball

Leeds United open their Premier League campaign at Nottingham Forest, a testing curtain-raiser against Oliver Glasner’s new side, with hope and nerves mingling on day one.

According to Leeds Live, the owners would view finishing above the bottom three as success and anything below last season’s 14th as a disappointment. The club are exploring a loan for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk, with an initial offer rejected, as they seek a left-sided attacker.

Leeds have lost their last two opening-day away games and have not won a Premier League opener on the road since 1996. Forest, under a new manager, will hope for a bounce.

No surprises are expected in the XI. James Trafford is set for his bow in goal as the new number one, in status and on his shirt. Harry Wilson is due to operate as the new number 10 from a wide attacking berth, while Tarik Muharemovic is in line for a Premier League debut.

Nico Elvedi, signed this week and with more than 300 Bundesliga appearances, is not expected to start but could be among the substitutes. Lucas Perri returns to the bench after injury, which surely means an exit is close. With Gudmundsson and Gnonto out, Jayden Lienou and Alfie Cresswell make the cut.

Two trips to Nottingham come in four days, with the identical League Cup tie following on Tuesday. Daniel Farke has stressed how tough a second season can be, so European talk feels premature in these early weeks.

Bet365 price Nottingham Forest at 5/4, the draw at 23/10 and Leeds at 21/10.
