Leeds to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>

Leeds saw their five game unbeaten streak at Elland Road come to an end against Arsenal last week, but there is plenty of reason to believe they can respond in the right way on Friday night. Even though Nottingham Forest have collected over half of their points on the road this season, this feels like a strong spot for Leeds to get back on track. Victories at home against Chelsea, Fulham and Crystal Palace have fueled a genuine push for survival, and the atmosphere under the lights should once again play a major role. Daniel Farke\u2019s side thrive on tempo and aggression in these moments, and Forest may find it difficult to live with that intensity. With the crowd fully invested and the stakes high against a direct rival, Leeds look well placed to grind out a narrow but crucial win.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dominic Calvert Lewin to Score <\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

Dominic Calvert Lewin appears rejuvenated since making the move from Everton to Leeds last summer. For the first time in a long while he looks fully fit and firing, and his return of nine league goals already underlines just how effective he has been.<\/p>\n

He has not reached double figures in the top flight since the Carlo Ancelotti era at Everton, a period that now feels a long way off, but all signs point towards him passing that mark soon under Daniel Farke. His final three seasons on Merseyside brought just 12 goals in total, much of that time spent under Sean Dyche, and there is a sense of inevitability that he could come back to trouble his former manager on Friday night.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
