Gabby Agbonlahor backs Leeds United ahead of Nottingham Forest trip

Forest lost 5-0 over two legs against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, although they have gone four league games undefeated. However, former Aston Villa forward Agbonlahor has tipped Leeds for a 2-0 victory in the East Midlands.

“Leeds will have a bit too much for Nottingham Forest, they have got some exciting players Leeds, new striker, new signings in the window, Bamford is back scoring goals. So I’m going to go 2-0 to Leeds," Agbonlahor told talkSPORT EDGE.

Jesse Marsch lifts lid on Diego Llorente's Leeds United exit, replacements and Diogo Monteiro's potential

Jesse Marsch has revealed Diego Llorente requested to leave Leeds United in the closing days of the transfer window due to personal reasons. Llorente made the deadline day switch to Italian club AS Roma on an initial loan deal, but the move is expected to become permanent in the summer, bringing an end to his time in West Yorkshire.

The centre-back has played under Jose Mourinho before, during his Real Madrid days, and he’ll be hoping to reignite his career in Serie A after falling out of favour at United. He watched Wednesday night’s Cup defeat to bottom of the table Cremonese from the bench, but he’ll have his eyes on a debut in the Italian capital tonight as Roma host Empoli at the Stadio Olimpico.

Llorente only signed a new three-and-a-half year contract extension at Elland Road in December and as a result, the deal caught many people by surprise, but Marsch has moved to explain the reason behind his exit.

Leeds United star Marc Roca makes La Liga admission after Weston McKennie arrival

Leeds United midfielder Marc Roca has admitted that although he is currently happy in the Premier League, he has not 'ruled out' a return to La Liga in the future following the arrival of Weston McKennie in the January transfer window.

Roca has featured in every single Premier League game for Jesse Marsch this season, starting 18 of Leeds' 19 top-flight fixtures. The Spaniard has cemented his place in the club's first-team, but McKennie's arrival has sparked debate that the American will replace the former Bayern Munich man in the Whites' starting XI.

McKennie has played alongside Tyler Adams for the USMNT and Marsch could be tempted to reunite the pair against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. Leeds are without a win in the English top-flight since November and Leeds' head coach may shake things up in order to kick-start the second half of the season.
