Steve Cooper won't be happy with the start that Forest have made so far.

The Leeds fans making plenty of noise. They're dominating the atmosphere at the moment as their team see most of the ball on the pitch.

Sinisterra should score, he does ever so well. He reads it and they hesitate at the back. Boly comes out too late. He's got to make better contact than that. Good save from Navas, that will give him confidence.

Leeds are on the front foot.

They are pressing high in packs, as is Jesse Marsch's want. Forest are having to dig in a bit.

A big early chance for Leeds! And an important first save for Keylor Navas!

Luis Sinisterra is an opportunist here and nips in to win the ball in the Forest box before poking a shot towards goal. Down gets Navas to push the ball away.

Leeds will miss Rodrigo and scoring goals has been their biggest problem. They've bought some good additions in January.

Forest need to continue, Steve Cooper is doing a really good job at the moment.

It's going to be a scrap is this. To underline that, the first act is a scramble between two players in midfield and a Forest free-kick.

And we are under way.

Results yesterday will have given both of these teams a little warning shot. They know there is an awful lot of work to do to ensure they remain in this division beyond this season.

Forest in their usual red, Leeds are wearing their stilton third kit.

Right then, let's get this show on the road.

There's issues at the top to sort out later. Right now, though, we're focused on the bottom of the table and two teams looking to put ground between themselves and the three teams in the relegation zone.

Leeds have had more pressed sequences (310) and allow their opponents the fewest passes per defensive action (PPDA – 9.8) in the Premier League this season. One of their key players for this is Brenden Aaronson, who has applied more pressures than any other player in the league this term (654).

Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson has been involved in four goals in his last three Premier League games (2 goals, 2 assists), double the amount he had in his first 17 appearances (2 goals). These four goal involvements have been worth five points to Forest.

It was interesting reading the ins and outs of just how close that move was to going through [Jack Harrison to Leicester]. Leeds eventually pulled the plug very late doors.

When you look at Leeds, we talk about the overhaul we've had at Nottingham Forest, but Leeds have also had quite a transformation with around eight almost first team regulars who have come in over the last eight months or so.

That's quite a rebuild that Jesse Marsch has got on his hands and on the flip side to that, it means that he hasn't really got any excuses now given the calibre of players that have come through the door.

It's less about potential now and more about oven ready players if you will with Weston McKennie being the latest example of that.

They're playing the soundtrack to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves at the City Ground. Good Nottingham tie in. Although that film does seem to suggest that the city is a 20-minute stroll from Dover. And Robin Hood was most likely Californian.

But this about getting people in the mood for some action. The teams will be with us shortly to provide just that.

Nottingham Forest have had fewer shots on target than any other Premier League side this season (64), while only West Ham (9.8) and Wolves (7.7) are under-performing in regards to expected goals by a wider margin than Forest (7.4 – 16 goals from 23.4 xG).

• Nottingham Forest have won their last two home league games against Leeds, last winning three in a row against them at the City Ground in May 1991.
• Leeds have won just two of their last 15 league games against Nottingham Forest (D6 L7), with those wins coming consecutively in January and August 2017.
• No player has received more through balls from a specific team-mate in the Premier League this season than Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson (6 from Morgan Gibbs-White).

Sutton's prediction: 2-2

Nottingham Forest just keep on signing players - even though the January transfer window is closed they have just brought in Andre Ayew, who was a free agent, for what is their 29th signing since they won promotion to the Premier League in May.

Those numbers are staggering and credit to Forest boss Steve Cooper for knitting a completely new team together, while continuing to add to it. Their results have been getting better too - yes, they are out of both cups now but they are four games unbeaten in the Premier League.

That's been enough for them to move above a Leeds side who have travelled in the opposite direction down the table but it is so close at the bottom that Jesse Marsch's side would move back above them with a win.

It's been a long time since Leeds picked up three points, however, and I don't think their wait will end this weekend. I've said it many times before, but it is too easy to get at them.

Forest have got themselves into a decent position in the table without really making any kind of impression on the league so far.

Of all that talk over the years about what it will be like and feel like having Forest back in the league but because of all the different things that have gone on in terms of the big turnover of players, I don't feel like we really know Forest as a team.

That can be fine if they stay up and build that over time, whereas I think of other teams that have come up in recent years, Brentford, Brighton, Leeds, they have come up straight away and you have known straight away what the team is, the direction they are going in and what they are trying to do. With Forest it is kind of more window to window.

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte may miss Sunday's game following surgery to remove his gallbladder, with assistant Cristian Stellini ready to deputise.

New signing Pedro Porro awaits his debut, while Richarlison is back in contention following a hamstring issue.

Lucas Moura has also resumed training but lacks match fitness.

Manchester City defender John Stones will miss the next "few weeks or a month" with a hamstring injury, manager Pep Guardiola has said, but midfielder Phil Foden could return from a foot problem on Sunday.

Who makes the Tottenham XI?

Predict City's starting line-up

Sutton's prediction: 1-3

I know Joao Cancelo has not been at his best this season but I still think his departure on loan to Bayern Munich is a massive loss to Manchester City.

Cancelo has been integral to City's success in the past couple of seasons but something has clearly gone on that meant Pep Guardiola was willing to let him leave and they have not replaced him either.

It's a huge call, especially with City playing catch-up to Arsenal in the title race, but it would be typical of what we have seen from them under Pep if they responded with a win here.

Spurs might still think it is a good time to play them, and it was a boost for them that Son Heung-min got back among the goals against Preston in the FA Cup last weekend.

But with boss Antonio Conte likely to be absent after surgery, I am going with another City victory to go with their comeback to beat Tottenham at Etihad Stadium last month.

Schak's prediction: 0-2

I'd like City to win, again because of how close Spurs are behind us.

• Tottenham have lost four of their past five Premier League home games (W1), including the past two at home. They last lost three in a row at home in September 2008.
• However, Manchester City have lost their past three away league games against Tottenham by an aggregate score of 5-0 - and only twice before have they lost four in a row without scoring at an opponent in the Premier League (Chelsea between 2006 and 2009, and Sunderland between 2010 and 2013).
• Spurs have conceded at least twice in their past five home league games - their worst such run since one of six September and November 1988.
• City manager Pep Guardiola has lost all four of his visits to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making it the ground he's managed at the most without winning.
