Paul Merson had claimed that Leeds United would have beaten Nottingham Forest 'comfortably', before the Monday night clash was postponed following Her Majesty the Queen's passing last week.

Steve Cooper's side have started the season slowly having won just one game in their opening six and sit in the bottom three.

In his Sportskeeda column, Merson wrote: "This is a big game for Leeds United as this is the first time they are going into a Premier League clash expecting to win.
