Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has admitted his side's trip to Nottingham Forest is 'very important' in the context of the relegation battle.
The Whites head to the City Ground for the two clubs' first top-flight meeting since 1999 with both sides sat in the bottom eight of the table. Forest have the opportunity to open up a six-point gap between themselves and Leeds with a win after an impressive four-match unbeaten run in January.
Leeds, meanwhile, are searching for their first win in seven league matches and know with a double header against Manchester United on the horizon how important this game is. Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Marsch acknowledged the table is something that cannot be ignored but is confident his side are on an upward spiral.
