"Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has plenty to ponder heading into the November international break, as an out-of-favour player came to his rescue against Leeds United. Plenty was riding on the game, with Forest starting the game second from bottom in the Premier League table, and Leeds only a couple of places higher. The two sides' starts to the campaign suggest both could be fighting for survival come the end of the season, making this a crucial match-up."
"Dyche was without a win in his first two Premier League games, and his third against Leeds was threatening to lurch him towards crisis as the Yorkshire side raced into the lead in the 13th minute through Lukas Nmecha. Forest equalised minutes later, but they needed more against the promoted side to prove they may finally have turned a corner under Dyche, their third permanent manager of the season."
"However, despite the importance that conveys, Hutchinson is still yet to make a single Premier League start for the club. The 22-year-old once again started the meeting with Leeds on the bench, a position he has become far too accustomed to this season. Looking to shake things up, Dyche threw on Hutchinson, Taiwo Awoniyi and Ryan Yates all at once, but it was the record signing who stood out the most."
Forest entered the match second from bottom in the Premier League while Leeds sat only a couple of places higher, both sides suggesting potential relegation battles. Dyche had not won in his first two league games and faced pressure after Leeds took the lead through Lukas Nmecha in the 13th minute. Forest levelled shortly after but required more to show progress under their third permanent manager of the season. Record signing Omari Hutchinson, signed for a reported £37.5m on a five-year deal, started on the bench and produced a decisive impact after being introduced as a substitute.
