Leicester’s Justin wants revenge against Nottingham Forest
After suffering a 6-2 defeat to the Tottenham Hotspurs, James Justin is aiming for revenge. Leicester City played well in the first half of that contest, though let standards slip again.
After keeping it a 2-2 game heading into the half, the Foxes fans thought we could steal some points from one of the best teams in the Premier League. Then a Son Heung-Min hat trick and Rodrigo Bentancur’s solo effort led to the Spurs trashing the East Midlands team.
The English fullback blamed the second-half results on complacency. This complacency led to individual defensive mistakes, according to the defender. Justin is now looking for revenge, partly because the defense has played poorly so far this season.

Leicester now has conceded a league-high 22 goals this season, 11 of which have come from the last two games. With Brendan Rodgers in the hot seat and the squad needing a massive three points, this next game becomes the biggest of the season. With the pressure on the line, Leicester finds themselves in a match-up against a team that despises, Nottingham Forest.
Rodgers’ side was flat-out embarrassed by Nottingham Forest last season. Forest, an EFL championship team at the time, met the Foxes in a FA Cup matchup. LCFC was destroyed in what was a pivotal game in the season. An EFL Championship side not only defeated a Premier League side but defeated them by three goals as well.
With the current run of form that they’re on and with what happened last season, Leicester has all the motivation to have a great game. Nottingham Forest is currently 19th in the league with four points; the Foxes sit behind them in last place with one point. The battle will potentially lead to finding out who is the best team of East Midlands and who will fall to last place in the Premier League.
When asked about the upcoming game, ‘JJ’ simply said:
Next. It’s time for Daniel Iversen to get an EPL chance. dark
