Newly promoted Leeds United will host Nottingham Forest at Elland Road in the 25th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Manager Daniel Falk stated in an interview that he believes his team has the ability to earn enough points to remain in the Premier League.

After a 0-4 defeat to league leaders Arsenal in the last round, Leeds United are currently 16th in the standings with 26 points, 6 points above the relegation zone.

In the first leg of this season's encounter with Nottingham Forest, Leeds United took the lead thanks to a goal from Lucas Nmecha, but then conceded goals repeatedly and ultimately lost 1-3 away to Nottingham Forest.

As for Nottingham Forest, Dyche's team is 17th in the standings with 26 points and also needs more points to get away from the relegation zone.

Leeds United manager Daniel Falk said, "Dyche has an excellent track record in the Premier League and has proven his ability on numerous occasions. This season, he has brought stability back to Nottingham Forest, and the team has also gained a lot of points in recent weeks."

“I think Nottingham Forest is a team with a lot of individual talent. They qualified for Europe last season and invested a lot of money last summer. They are definitely a strong opponent. It’s never easy to create chances and break down their defense against a team like that.”

Daniel Falk pointed out, "If you look at their recent games, you'll see that they often keep a clean sheet or make it very difficult for their opponents to score. So I expect this to be a close game, creating chances will be difficult, and scoring will be equally difficult. Therefore, we must give it our all and stay focused, and we definitely need the support of our fans."

"We need the fans to create a special atmosphere for the game more than ever before. If the fans can do that, and my players can perform as expected on the field, then we definitely have a chance."

In addition, Daniel Falk emphasized, "I have full confidence in this team and believe we can achieve our goals. We have the ability to get enough points to qualify for the league. However, we haven't achieved anything yet, and the players must fight for points in every game."
