Preview: Nottingham Forest vs. Leeds United

Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United at the City Ground.

Nottingham Forest host Leeds United on Boxing Day as they look to maintain their position in the top half of the Championship table.

Forest suffered a 2-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday and they will be forced into at least one change from that game after defender Daniel Ayala was sent off.

Manager Sean O'Driscoll may also opt to recall Adlene Guedioura in place of Andy Reid.

Leeds have impressed in recent weeks with five wins from their last six Championship games.

That run of form has seen them move up to eighth place in the league table and manager Neil Warnock will be looking to improve on that run against Forest.

Warnock will be without on-loan midfielder Michael Tonge, who has returned to parent club Stoke City.
