Leeds United are like the Championship Barcelona in possession. Sadly, for them, at the minute they are more like Bognor Regis FC with their final product.

So many wayward crosses...

Nottingham Forest are on the march...

Good response from the visitors as Luke Murphy has a fierce 20-yard shot blocked.

You need to make the most of your dominance though...

BBC Radio 5 Live

Former Blackburn goalkeeper Tim Flowers: "The first ball Forest have got in behind but it's a mistake from Giuseppe Bellusci, he missed his clearance. The goalkeeper had gambled on it and it's a gift for Forest!"

Talk about being against the run of play.

It has been all Leeds. Then one pump forward by Matt Mills, sends Nelson Oliveira racing through on goal.

Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci misjudges the flight as he misses the ball, goalkeeper Marco Silvestri manically races out of goal, and Oliveira rounds him and slides home.

Cool finish but the Benny Hill music should accompany that Leeds defending.

On your bike Sam Byram.

The Leeds midfielder bursts into the penalty area, ghosts past Matt Mills, and then inexplicably goes down.

No touch, no sense and no penalty.

Byram gets a deserved yellow card. Even Steve Evans didn't argue against that one.

Now Leeds' turn to whip in a corner...

Stuart Dallas floats in a delivery, Chris Wood - totally unmarked - rises and heads goal wards but Eric Lichaj clears off the line for Forest. 

It wasn't as dramatic as it sounds though, he could have put the kettle on before clearing that.

First corner of the match and it goes to Forest. Can they take advantage?

Nope, the towering Matt Mills wins the header but he is penalised for holding. Harsh.

This is keep ball stuff from Leeds so far.

Patient, tidy, passing as Nottingham Forest chase shadows. Only the Stuart Dallas shot to show for it so far.

Extravagant stuff from Nelson Oliveira. Rubbish, but extravagant.

The Forest winger tries an audacious backheel, gets it wrong and the ball is out of touch.

Not much else happening.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Former Blackburn goalkeeper Tim Flowers: "Steve Evans has done a good job everywhere he has been and this is his biggest job. Leeds are set up in a 4-1-4-1 formation and it's very expansive. Both full-backs are getting forwards whenever they can."

One thing is for sure if this match gets tasty - the two managers will not be staying quiet,

Steve Evans v Dougie Freedman? That is an exchange you want to see...

Leeds still enjoying most of the ball.

Leeds, sporting their all yellow kit, have started well.

Lewis Cook finds Stuart Dallas just outside the penalty area and he strikes a shot inches wide of the far post.

There is a lot of space down the flanks for the visitors.

Here we go then.

A brilliant atmosphere as Leeds kick off.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Former Blackburn goalkeeper Tim Flowers: Dougie Freedman is doing very well, stats don't lie and they look as though they are on the up. There is nothing in this game at all.

You can listen to BBC Radio 5 live on this on this page.

The teams are out.

27,500 expected in the City Ground and there is already a cracking atmosphere.

Great effort from a big away contingent.

Since April 2014, Leeds United have had six managers...

In ex-Rotherham boss Steve Evans have they finally found the right man?

Going into the festive period, Leeds would sit 6th in a league table based on results since October 19th, the date he took charge.

He's no Dave Hockaday granted, but...

BBC Radio 5 Live

Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman on BBC Radio 5 live on the transfer embargo: They are the cards we have been dealt. No point in whinging about that. I feel very confident this group of players can deal with setbacks.

The January sales may be about to open but, for Forest boss Dougie Freedman, it will be business as usual.

The club have been under a transfer embargo since December 2014 and have just had it extended until the end of the season for exceeding Financial Fair Play limits of permitted maximum losses of £6m.

No throwing the cash around at the City Ground...
