Leeds host Nottingham Forest at Elland Road on 6 February 2026 in Premier League regular season round 25, with kickoff at 20:00 UTC. Both sides sit level on 26 points with identical goal differences of -11, occupying 16th and 17th place respectively, underlining the relegation battle stakes.
Leeds Availability
Leeds have concerns in both midfield and attack. Attacker A. Stach is ruled out with a hip injury, while defender J. Bijol and forward L. Nmecha are both listed as questionable due to hamstring and muscle problems respectively. The positive news for Leeds is that leading scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with 9 league goals and 1 assist in 22 appearances, is fully available to spearhead the attack, supported by fellow forwards such as W. Gnonto, N. Okafor and J. Piroe.
Nottingham Forest Availability
Forest face a heavier absentee list. Goalkeeper John Victor, defender N. Savona and defender N. Williams are all missing, the latter through suspension after a red card. Striker C. Wood is also out with a knee injury, removing an experienced attacking option. There are further doubts over winger C. Hudson-Odoi with a shoulder issue and goalkeeper M. Sels with a groin problem, though both remain questionable rather than definitively ruled out.
Impact Summary
Leeds appear slightly better placed in terms of attacking continuity, retaining their main goal threat in Calvert-Lewin. Forest, by contrast, must cope without Wood and several defensive options, which could shift the balance toward the hosts in a finely poised relegation six-pointer.
