Nottingham Forest v Leeds: Key stats and talking points

Nottingham Forest and Leeds United meet in the Premier League for just the third time this century. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Sunday’s match.
Forest have not won a league match since beating Brentford on the opening weekend but can take heart from their excellent record against Leeds at the City Ground.
They have not lost a top-flight home game against the Yorkshire side since November 1971, when current manager Sean Dyche was just five months old.
Dyche earned his first Premier League point since taking charge in last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United and said the performance was a “marked improvement”, particularly in the second half.
But Forest were caught out twice from corners (the first awarded controversially), taking their total number of goals conceded from set-pieces to nine – a joint-league high prior to the latest round of fixtures.
Dyche will have to get his new side better organised defensively if they are to move away from the relegation zone.
Forest have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since beating United on 1 April, and their run of 18 consecutive games without a shut-out is the longest by a current top-flight club.
