The mounting danger of the relegation zone looms large as Nottingham Forest and Leeds face off on matchday 11 of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This match at the City Ground between the 19th-placed Tricky Trees and the 16th-placed Whites comes with our prediction of a home win.
Forest’s six points before this round (W1, D3, L6) put them four points adrift of the safety zone, while Leeds are fairly safe and start this round with 11 points (W3, D2, L5), although they haven’t yet built a buffer around the relegation zone.
With consecutive draws in the Europa League and against Manchester United last matchday, Forest seem to be shaping up for survival. Their performances at home will be monitored closely, as they won four points from their last two home matches. Leeds have been struggling to adapt to the top flight and come here after losing three in the last four. To add to that, they were beaten in four of their five away league fixtures. Can Leeds rise to the occasion and surprise their hosts? Read more to find our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Nottingham Forest - Leeds: Form Analysis
Forest drew 0-0 away at Sturm Graz in the Europa League, but their main focus is on improving domestically. They held Manchester United to a 2-2 draw last time out, while they were beaten just once in their last four league matches.
Playing at home hasn’t been a pleasant experience either, as Forest have been beaten in four of their last six home games. That said, they remain unbeaten in their last two home fixtures (W1, D1), giving confidence of beating the trend.
Forest are unbeaten in 13 top-flight home matches against Leeds (W6, D7).
History may be unkind to Leeds, but they are not helping themselves this season with poor results. A 3-0 away at Brighton last weekend was their third defeat in four league games (W1, L3), with only the win over West Ham being an exception.
The record gets dire playing away from home, as Leeds lost four of their five recent league trips (W1). All four of those defeats saw them fail to score, so the visiting fans will be jittery.

Nottingham Forest & Leeds Squad Analysis
Forest have a lengthy injury list, and that was augmented last week when Douglas Luiz was forced off last matchday. Callum Hudson-Odoi missed the game on Thursday with an injury, while Chris Wood remains doubtful with a knee problem.
That leaves Igor Jesus to lead the 4-2-3-1 formation with the likes of Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White slotting behind in the midfield. Wood’s goals are a miss, but Forest will be looking for more goals from the rest of the pack.
Gibbs-White has two goals in his last four games for Forest.
Leeds are likely to leave it till late before a decision on Wilfried Gnonto will be taken. Daniel James is all set to start, unless the visitors choose to start him on the bench.
The Lilywhites have usually featured in a 4-3-3 formation, although their latest fixture was in a 4-1-4-1 system. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is likely to lead the line, either alone or as part of a three-man line. Joe Rodon and Noah Okafor have two goals each this season and are likely to push for pace on the wings.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Leeds Prediction
Both teams are struggling for impact and are either in the relegation zone or are hovering around it. Forest are already four points behind the safety zone, and hence even a win won’t pull them out of the red zone. Leeds have a four-point cushion over the relegation zone, but their away form has been dire. Four defeats in their five away league games this season, with all four coming without scoring, is a mounting concern for Leeds.
That could continue here, and our Nottingham Forest vs Leeds prediction is Nottingham Forest wins.
