A precious three points is on offer when basement battlers Nottingham Forest and Leeds face off at the City Ground on Sunday.

Forest might look safe at first glance, sitting up in 13th, but only four points separates them from the drop zone and Leeds can leapfrog the Midlands club on goal difference with a win here.

Steve Cooper’s side suffered a 5-0 aggregate loss to Manchester United in the League Cup semi-finals in midweek, but they are unbeaten in four games in the Premier League.

Leeds knocked out Accrington Stanley last weekend to progress in the FA Cup, but they are winless in their last six league games, picking up three draws in that time.

Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
