Former Scotland international Ally McCoist has been swayed by Nottingham Forest’s recent home performance into thinking they will survive the drop into the Championship this season – at Leeds United’s expense.
Forest have claimed high-scoring victories over Brighton and Hove Albion and Southampton in their two most recent games at the CIty Ground, which has pushed them three points clear of Sam Allardyce’s side and the drop zone despite Steve Cooper’s side having lost all of their past seven away trips.
That leaves Leeds United with just three games to both overtake 18th-placed Leicester City, who are ahead of them in the table on goal difference, and either make up two points on Everton or three points on Forest to ensure they remain in the top flight for next season.
