Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira is reportedly a leading contender to replace Steve Cooper if he is sacked as Nottingham Forest manager.
Cooper is understood to be under pressure to keep his job as Reds boss heading into tonight's game against Leeds United (7.45pm kick-off). Forest have gone seven games without a win to leave them 16th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.
With owner Evangelos Marinakis concerned by the prospect of relegation in the club's first season back in the top flight, Cooper is now in the spotlight.
