The rearranged date for Forest’s trip to face Leeds United has also been announced. The fixture was postponed in September, following the death of Her Majesty The Queen. It will now take place on Tuesday, April 4 (7.45pm kick-off).
Leeds will have a new manager in place for the game at Elland Road. Having sacked Jesse Marsch, they have today announced former Watford boss Javi Gracia as his replacement, subject to obtaining a work permit. He has been appointed on what is described as a “flexible” contract.
An action-packed April could prove to be a big month in the Reds’ bid to retain Premier League status. The month also features a home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, as well as away ones against Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brentford.
Steve Cooper’s side are currently 13th in the table, five points above the relegation zone. They make the trip to face West Ham United, who are 18th, on Saturday.
