It needn't be hell with DCL

LEGEND MAC: FOREST NOT IN GOOD PLACE... NOW LEEDS MUST TURN UP HEAT WITH DOM

- BY ISAAC JOHNSON

LEEDS UNITED legend Gary McAllister knows a thing or two about winning a title.

The former midfielder lifted the 1991-92 First Division crown under Howard Wilkinson - the last English manager to win the topflight - while playing at Elland Road.

This Leeds team will not be competing for the Premier League title any time soon. The mission this season is simply to stay in the division.

In order to do that, boss Daniel Farke needs to start gaining points away from home.

The only positive result Leeds have managed to earn in five away Premier League trips so far is the 3-1 win at bottom club Wolves in September, also the sole occasion in which they have scored on the road.

The pressure will be on Farke to prompt a response from his team today against Nottingham Forest, following an awful showing during last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Brighton.
