Leeds United have won just two of their last 13 league games against Nottingham Forest (W2 D5 L6), winning 2-0 in both games against them during 2017.
Since a 7-3 win away at Leeds in March 2012, there have been just 10 league goals scored in seven meetings between Leeds and Nottingham Forest at Elland Road.
Leeds have only played their first home league match of the season against Nottingham Forest once previously – in 1991-92, winning 1-0 and going on to win the top-flight league title that season.
Nottingham Forest have only won one of their last 14 away games in the Championship (D6 L7), although that victory did come in their final away trip of last season (1-0 at QPR).
Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Leeds United’s Pablo Hernández has scored and assisted in six Championship matches – only David McGoldrick and Neal Maupay have done so more often in that time (seven times).
Nottingham Forest haven’t lost their opening two league matches of a season since the 1971-72 campaign, when they were in the top-flight.

Middlesbrough’s 1-2 defeat against Brentford at the Riverside Stadium in March last season was their first league defeat against the Bees since December 1938.
Brentford have scored four league goals in their last two visits to Middlesbrough (W1 D1 L0) – one more than they managed in their first eight trips there (W1 D1 L6).
Middlesbrough have won their first home league game of the campaign in four of the previous five seasons (D1), including in each of the last two.
Brentford suffered a 0-1 defeat in their opening game against Birmingham despite having 15 shots to Birmingham’s one and hit the woodwork more than any other Championship side on MD1 (3).
Just 40 goals were scored at the Riverside in the Championship last season (23 for, 17 against) – the fewest at any home venue in the competition.
Since the start of 2017-18, departed striker Neal Maupay was involved in 49 Championship goals for Brentford – 19 more than any other Bees player.

Plymouth have lost just one of their last 14 matches against Colchester in all competitions (W8 D5) and are unbeaten against the U’s since a 1-2 defeat back in August 2003 (P10 W7 D3 L0 since).
Colchester have faced Plymouth away from home more than any other side in the Football League without ever ending on the winning side (P17 W0 D8 L9), losing each of the last five such matches.
Plymouth have scored three goals in each of their last two EFL games (v Scunthorpe on the last day of the League One season in 18/19 and v Crewe on the opening day of this season) – the Pilgrims last scored three of more goals in three consecutive Football League matches in October 2003.
Colchester are unbeaten in their last five games in League Two (W3 D2) – they last went longer without defeat in January 2018 (run of six games).
On the opening day, Callum McFadzean became the first Plymouth player since Sonny Bradley (v Cheltenham) in January 2017 to score an away brace in the EFL.
