Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United (NOT vs LU) Match Preview
NOT vs LU Match Preview: The Premier League 2026/27 match between Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United will be played on Saturday, 22 August 2026 at 07:30 PM IST.
Nottingham Forest finished the 2025-26 season in 16th place with 44 points, staying five points clear of the relegation zone. Three managers came and went during the campaign before Vitor Pereira took charge. Pereira’s impact was evident; under his guidance, Forest lost only one of their final 10 Premier League matches, ending the season with victories over Sunderland (5–0) and Chelsea (3–1). However, even after securing safety, owner Evangelos Marinakis sought a more ambitious appointment, selecting Glasner, who had become available after completing his tenure at Palace.
Two senior players have joined the squad: centre-back Ousmane Diomande (from Sporting Lisbon for £34 million) and midfield enforcer Xaver Schlager (RB Leipzig); both are expected to feature in the starting lineup. Glasner has hinted that further signings could arrive before the transfer window closes in September. He acknowledged concerns regarding a lack of wide players following the club-record sale of Elliot Anderson. Morgan Gibbs-White, who scored 15 Premier League goals while playing in a free midfield role during the 2025-26 season, remains the teams creative focal point. In the absence of captain Ryan Yates, he will shoulder the responsibility of deputy leadership on Saturday.
History offers some optimism for Glasner’s competitive debut: he has won his first league match at four of his previous five clubs. Conversely, every one of Forests six permanent managers prior to Saturdays match lost their opening Premier League game with the club—a trend stretching back to 1997. The spectators at the City Ground will want Glasner to put an end to this run.
