Leeds could give a debut to loan forward Eddie Nketiah in Saturday's visit of Nottingham Forest following his deadline day arrival from Arsenal.

Defender Gaetano Berardi is available after serving a one-match ban for his sending-off during May's play-off semi-final defeat by Derby.

Forest have new signings John Bostock, Carl Jenkinson, Chema and Brice Samba all available.

Former Arsenal defender Jenkinson could replace Matty Cash at right-back.

Match facts

    Leeds United have won just two of their past 13 league games against Nottingham Forest (W2 D5 L6), winning 2-0 in both games against them during 2017. Since a 7-3 win away at Leeds in March 2012, there have been just 10 league goals scored in seven meetings between Leeds and Forest at Elland Road. Leeds have only played their first home league match of the season against Forest once previously - in 1991-92, winning 1-0 and going on to win the league title that season. Forest have only won one of their last 14 away games in the Championship (D6 L7), although that victory did come in their final away trip of last season (1-0 at QPR). Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Leeds United's Pablo Hernández has scored and assisted in six Championship matches - only David McGoldrick and Neal Maupay have done so more often in that period (seven times). Forest have not lost their opening two league matches of a season since the 1971-72 campaign, when they were in the top flight.
