Nottingham Forest confirm this change for vital Leeds United clash

The kick-off time for Nottingham Forest’s home clash with Leeds United in the Sky Bet Championship has been moved, after being selected for live television coverage.

The Reds were originally due to welcome Marcelo Bielsa’s side to the City Ground 3pm on Saturday, February 8 but now the kick off time has been pushed back.

Forest will now take on the Whites at 5.30pm on the same day, with Sky Sports broadcasting the clash live.

The last meeting between the sides was also selected for live television coverage, with Forest drawing 1-1 at Elland Road thanks to an equaliser from Lewis Grabban.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side are currently striving to achieve promotion to the Premier League, and the clash on Trentside will be a match up between two teams aiming to be in the top flight next term.

Forest are in fourth place in the Championship standings, after three consecutive wins over the festive period saw them climb back up the table.

Leeds are top of the table on goal difference, with West Bromwich Albion occupying the other automatic promotion spot.
