Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Southampton. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Southampton, who had 8 shots on goal with 0 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Steve Cooper will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Forest will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Leicester City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Fulham will have left the Leicester City squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 61 of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Brendan Rodgers will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Whilst their long 15 game streak of scoring away from home continues, there's always a chance of a good away result. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
The Leicester City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from James Maddison, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Nottingham Forest will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Leicester City, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
The Foxes defence has struggled at The City Ground, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits. Goals come easy for Leicester when they travel to The Reds, having recorded 7 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the league, Forest has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed Leicester to The City Ground.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Cheikhou Kouyaté (Hamstring), Jesse Lingard (Thigh), Moussa Niakhaté (Hamstring) and Omar Richards (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Brendan Rodgers has a number of injury concerns in his Leicester squad to contend with: Ryan Bertrand (Knee), Patson Daka (Hamstring), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Knock), Jonny Evans (Muscle), James Justin (Achilles tendon), James Maddison (Knee), Ricardo Pereira (Achilles tendon), Dennis Praet (Rib) and Boubakary Soumaré (Hamstring)
