    Nottingham Forest make one change to the XI that started last week's 2-1 defeat at Birmingham City, with Samba Sow returning to the starting line-up.

    Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa goes with the same team that started the 1-0 home defeat by struggling Wigan.

    Nottingham Forest XI: Samba; Cash, Figueiredo, Worrall, Ribeiro; Watson (c), Sow; Lolley, Silva, Ameobi; Grabban.

    Leeds XI: Casilla, Ayling, White, Cooper, Alioski, Dallas, Klich, Harrison, Costa, Hernandez, Bamford

    It's just shy of 21 years since the two teams in our late game met in the top-flight.

    To say Nottingham Forest and Leeds United have endured rocky roads over the past two decades would be something of an understatement but they have the Premier League firmly in their sights this season.

    Leeds might be on a run of just one win in their past eight games but victory at the City Ground will send them back to the top of the Championship, while Forest will move to within one point of the top two if they can take all three points today.

    This could be a cracker.

    There'll be even more movement on this little graph come 19:30 GMT, however...
