Leicester vs Nottingham Forest Live: A Battle of the Midlands
The Foxes are back at the King Power Stadium and looking to bounce back from their recent slump. But standing in their way are the resurgent Nottingham Forest, who are looking to pull off a major upset.
This is a classic Midlands derby, and it's always a feisty affair. Leicester haven't been firing on all cylinders lately, struggling to find their scoring boots. They'll need to be at their best to break down a Forest defense that's been pretty solid, especially at home.
Forest, on the other hand, are riding high after their recent win against...well, who were they playing again? Oh yeah, against Sheffield United! They've been playing with real confidence, and their attack, led by the exciting Taiwo Awoniyi, is looking really dangerous.
What to Expect
Expect a tight, tense affair. Both teams will be going for it, but it's likely to be a low-scoring game. The Foxes will be looking to control possession and play their usual passing game, but Forest will be happy to sit back and hit them on the break.
