The fullback had been out for a couple weeks before to this weekend. HIGHLIGHTS Connor Roberts’ fitness for Leeds’ next encounter against Sunderland is doubtful, with concerns over his ability to start the game. If Roberts is unable to start, youngster Archie Gray may step in at full-back, providing Leeds with much-needed depth. Despite concerns about Roberts’ fitness, his absence from the starting lineup may not be damaging considering his minimal playing time thus far. Leeds United journalist Phil Hay has offered an update on Welsh international Connor Roberts’ fitness ahead of the club’s midweek meeting against Sunderland. Roberts was…

Nottingham Forest fell 3-1 to Tottenham in the Premier League Sunday, and Ryan Yates and James Maddison had a fascinating duel. Murillo scored his own goal in the first 15 minutes of the game, putting the Reds down. Forest were level as Chris Wood scored his 12th Premier League goal of the season on 27 minutes. Wood then missed a sitter, prompting criticism from Gary Lineker, and Forest conceded in the second half. Tottenham had a relatively comfortable second half thanks to goals from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro, while Forest remained in difficulties. Yates was once again…
Saturday’s defeat to Coventry City dealt a significant blow to Leeds United’s bid for automatic promotion at the first attempt. Leicester City are two points ahead, with Enzo Maresca’s side having a game in hand. Ipswich are second, one point ahead of Leeds, but have also played 41 league games. The Tractor Boys lost against Norwich City over the weekend and, like Leeds, have been surpassed by Maresca’s team. With 15 points to play for – 18 in Leicester’s case – it is unclear which of the three teams will receive automatic promotion to the Premier League. We’ll have a…
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the status of West Ham loanee Kalvin Phillips, who is linked with Leeds United and Fulham. Leeds are expected to make a surprise approach for the former Elland Road fan favourite if they make it back to the Premier League. The 28-year-old’s career has stalled since joining Manchester City, and his loan with West Ham has been nothing short of disastrous. However, Romano believes any idea of a return to Leeds in the summer is premature at this time. “From what I understand, all reports linking the player with the likes of Leeds…
James Maddison took to social media after avoiding a red card despite seeming to strike out at Ryan Yates during Nottingham Forest’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The 26-year-old tumbled to the ground after feeling Maddison push him in the stomach on the perimeter of Forest’s penalty area. Although referee Simon Hooper missed the incident, VAR investigated but did not reprimand the Spurs player. The decision drew a heated reaction from Forest fans on social media, with many outraged that Maddison was not punished. The incident was discovered during televised coverage of the game and thoroughly addressed. Pundit Jamie Redknapp believed…
Tottenham Hotspur, led by Ange Postecoglou, defeated Nottingham Forest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 this past Sunday. Ange Postecoglou’s team is now fourth and in a strong position to finish in the UEFA Champions League positions. Spurs have accumulated 60 points from 31 matches. The North London team is level on points with Aston Villa, who are sixth after 32 games. Manchester United trails well behind in sixth place, with 49 points from 31 games. I don’t think Erik ten Hag’s squad will finish in the top four or…
Tottenham Hotspur climbed into fourth place in the Premier League table with a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Over the weekend, the Premier League saw some major discussion points and some highly controversial decisions. Wolves’ 2-1 defeat to West Ham United was marred by poor refereeing mistakes, which continued into the weekend’s final game. Tottenham may arguably consider themselves fortunate that their game against Nottingham Forest did not end 1-1, as it should have, with the home side winning 3-1. Not only did Chris Wood miss a guilt-edge chance from yards out that slammed the post to make…
Latest Nottingham Forest news: Nuno Espirito Santo’s Reds are thrashed 3-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League showdown. Nottingham Forest were forced to dwell on two pivotal moments in their 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. Chris Wood gave the Reds hope of a win in the capital when he cancelled out a Murillo own goal just before the half hour mark. The forward had a good chance to put the visitors ahead immediately after his equaliser, but he struck the crossbar from close range. If Forest had led 2-1 at that point, the game could have turned out quite differently.…
Leeds United’s position is expected to improve quickly, but there will be a major twist involving a vital promotion opponent. Leeds have dropped out of the Championship’s automatic promotion places following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Coventry City, but Daniel Farke’s side will return to play on Tuesday night when they host Sunderland. The Black Cats are 13th in the table, and the bookmakers are convinced that Leeds will rebound from their weekend defeat with a win at Elland Road. Every company has the Whites as substantial odds-on favourites, with odds ranging from 4-11 to 2-7. Sunderland will enter at LS11…
Paul Robinson believes Daniel Farke will push Rasmus Kristensen to leave Leeds United permanently during the summer transfer window. Kristensen struggled for Leeds last season as they were demoted from the Premier League, and he has spent this season on loan at Roma. There have been reports that the Whites will welcome the defender back at the end of the season if they get promoted to the top division [Graeme Bailey]. However, Robinson believes Kristensen’s performance last season shows he is not good enough for Leeds, even if they do want cover in that area. “Daniel Farke will want to…
