Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has predicted more away day misery for Nottingham Forest when they face Leeds United on Tuesday evening.
Both teams remain locked in a fiercely contested relegation battle with the Reds just a point above Leeds in the Premier League table. The Yorkshire side are only outside of the bottom three on goal difference.
The Reds and Leeds suffered disappointing results at the weekend with Forest throwing away a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 against Wolves on Saturday. At the same time, Leeds were thrashed 4-1 at the Emirates against league leaders Arsenal.

But Lawrenson predicts that the Reds will be left disappointed on the road again this season. He's gone for a 2-1 win for Leeds and fears for Forest boss Steve Cooper.
He told Paddy Power: "Leeds had a free hit at Arsenal because the world and his wife knew that they were going to lose that. Nottingham Forest, they drew 1-1 and they haven’t won for a while. The owner (Evangelos Marinakis) was in the changing room after the game and that’s never a good sign.
"If Forest get turned over at Leeds, which I think they will do, we could be up to 14 sackings for the season in the Premier League."
