What the managers are saying

Marcelo Bielsa (Leeds):“The fourth game (at Forest) will be the most demanding one. We already played three hard games over 90 minutes.“The main thing about the Championship is the intensity and the similar level between the teams.“Our expectancy is to get a positive result next Tuesday.”3

Aitor Karanka is under pressure following a barren run of results

Aitor Karanka (Nottingham Forest): “I am excited because it is New Years Day and we are playing the team at the top of the table.“We were almost better than them at Elland Road a few months ago, so playing at home against them, at this time of year, in front of a big crowd this is the kind of reason why I love to be involved in football.”
