Both sideas are also treading water somewhat in mid-table in the Championship, with Forest having failed to sustain
their stunning early season form under Stuart Pearce and Leeds still recovering under Neil Redfearn from a bizarre season in both the dugout and the boardroom.
However, all of their opponent's over the new two weeks have some
form of history with the Red Devils, with Sunderland
stunning the Old Trafford faithful in their previous visit to Manchester — Drawing 2 - 2 last
season, when Patrice Evra spared United's blushes with a last - gasp equaliser — and held them to a 0 - 0 draw at the Stadium of Light
earlier in the
season.
