Nottingham Forest and Leeds United are set to clash in the second leg of the Carabao Cup second round at the City Ground on Tuesday, 25 August 2026.

Nottingham Forest will be without Ryan Yates and Nicolo Savona due to injury, while Morgan Gibbs-White will also miss out due to a knee issue.
Leeds United, meanwhile, will be without Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson, who are dealing with muscle injuries, and Ilia Gruev, who has been out due to a knee problem. The match will be broadcast live on ITV1, Sky Sports Main Event, and Sky Sports Football in the United Kingdom.
