LEEDS IN THE LEAGUE AND THE LEAGUE CUP
We start the season at home against Leeds and then play them three days later in the EFL Cup.
It turns out this the fourth time we've played the same opponent in the League and then straight after in the EFL Cup.

Here's the three other times this happened, with a mixed bag of results!

SATURDAY 3PM


To those of us of (cough) a certain age, there used to be a time when 3pm on a Saturday meant football and Forest.
Then came the Premier League with a regular Sunday game and then a Monday match, and now we're lucky if half our games are on a Saturday. Then we were in the Europa League last season so the majority of our Saturday schedule was bumped to Sunday meaning we played just SIX games at home on Saturday last season and only ONE at 3pm!

So I'm keeping track of when we last played on a Saturday at 3pm and when our next 3pm home game is:
Last Home Game at 3pm Saturday:
Sat Nov 01, 2025 (Manchester United) - 9 months, 15 days ago

Next Home Game at 3pm Saturday:
Sat Aug 22, 2026 (Leeds United) - will be 9 months, 20 days since the Manchester United game
