Can Forest hold out for the victory? Will Leeds find a way to at least restore parity?

The home side have made two changes, sending on Serge Aurier and Jack Colback for Orel Mangala and Danilo.

Nottingham Forest have a record of W2 D0 L2 when leading at half-time in the Premier League this season.

Leeds United have a record of W1 D1 L5 when trailing at half-time in the top flight this campaign.

Tony: Time for Marsch to go!! We have not improved under him despite the backing from the club.

John: Time to get rid of the manager once and for all Leeds need a new man for the United games next week. Leeds are going down with him.

Forest have only had two touches in the Leeds box and both were only a yard (if that) inside.

The most important touch, though, remains the connection Brennan Johnson made with that ball to send it flying into the bottom corner.

Keylor Navas has had a few key ones too.

Dean: I'm sorry but this is on the manager now, he has the players, but he would struggle to put together a five piece jigsaw, come on Leeds. Sorry, just frustrated.

Anon: How can Leeds keep going with missing chances like they've had? If Erling Haaland played for them he'd have had five by now.

Marsch will be pleased with the performance but disappointed that they haven't taken their chances.

Steve Cooper won't be pleased with the performance but he will be pleased with the result.

There will be a lot of talking from both managers at half time and I'll be surprised if Jesse Marsch doesn't make a few changes as well because it's a big game for Leeds.

Nika: Navas deal is the best so far for Nottingham Forest!! He’s keeping them in the game, world class keeper making the difference.

The cliched line now is to suggest Leeds will wonder how they are behind?

The reasons are pretty simple, though. They switched off once to allow Brennan Johnson to score and have then had Keylor Navas in supreme form.

A big game at the bottom and Forest have their noses in front.

Jesse Marsch is frustrated and angry because his team have played well in the first half but they just haven't been ruthless enough.

Bamford looks sharp but his touch has been way off so far. It has been a struggle for Bamford.

A heavy touch lets down Patrick Bamford.

Had he been able to get the ball into his stride, he would have been in, but his clumsy contact allows Keylor Navas to gather.

Wood had to go for the far corner. He delays it too much and then Leeds get back into their shape.

For a moment, Chris Wood has the chance to score his first Forest goal as Illan Meslier comes out and fails to reach a long ball forward.

The home forward is forced wide and Leeds scramble back in numbers to crowd him out.

The time to hit it was straight away.

Liam Cooper had been injured prior to this game and he has had a nasty fall here after going up for a header.

He's a tough lad, though, and is soon back up and ready to go again.

Navas with his best save so far. There was no communication between Williams and Boly.

Gnonto comes inside but he doesn't get enough bend on it to get it into the bottom corner but credit to Navas for another great save.

Once again Navas to the rescue!

Forest fail to clear a ball forward and it falls to Willy Gnonto in the box. He sets himself and fires on target, but the Forest keeper is equal to it.

He is having some debut.

Nottingham Forest have had just one touch in Leeds' box so far.

Navas has been good so far and he has had to be good because I think Leeds have been the better team in this first half.

Navas looks OK, much to Forest's relief.

Navas needs some treatment. He collided with Willy Boly in making that last save. Forest will not want to lose him. Not one bit.
