Leeds hoping for Palace favour

Last updated : 03 May 2011 By Forest

Queens Park Rangers' FA hearing aside, the battle between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United for 6th place is the last remaining issue in the Championship and both sides travel to London for fixtures that will be live on television.

Sky will show the Reds away to Crystal Palace as they seek to gain the point that will mathematically make sure their season is extended while Leeds will face provisional champions QPR on the BBC hoping for a win, a Forest defeat and a big swing in goal difference.

Whites defender George McCartney told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “Hopefully, QPR will have nothing to play for. But they will probably be looking for a bit of revenge after we beat them earlier on in the season.

“Neil Warnock is that sort of manager (who will be wanting to win). I played against his teams quite a few times and he always has his teams fired up for games, no matter what is on offer.

“All we can do is keep battling on and we’ll see where we end up next Saturday afternoon.

“Football’s a funny game. I can recall lots of goings-on and crazy things happening in the past on the final day. We just have to rely on Palace taking points off Forest and us doing our job."
