Nottingham Forest and Leeds United will both be eager to start the 2026–27 Premier League campaign strongly after difficult seasons that saw both clubs spend plenty of time near the relegation zone.There was little between them last term, with Leeds finishing just three points ahead and scoring only one more goal. Both teams won their home meeting 3-1, while the historical record is similarly tight: Forest have 37 wins to Leeds’ 33.Preseason hasn’t provided much clarity either. Forest beat Bayer Leverkusen and Brest but lost to Barcelona and Udinese, while Leeds picked up impressive wins over Liverpool, RB Leipzig and Augsburg but also lost to Manchester United on penalties and, surprisingly, to Wrexham.With both clubs making significant moves in the transfer market, this feels like another matchup where there really isn’t much to separate them.Live Match TrackerPlay-by-PlayMatch MomentumMatch StatsLineupsMatch SummaryAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
