Leicester vs Nottingham Forest: Preview, Predictions, Lineups
By Kian Long
This week, Leicester hosts Nottingham Forest. So, join us for our Leicester vs Nottingham Forest preview, featuring our predictions and lineups.
Leicester City have put together back-to-back wins for the first time under Steve Cooper. They beat Bournemouth before the October international break and followed it up by beating Southampton after the break.
Next up, they face an East Midlands derby in Leicester vs Nottingham Forest. It is a fixture which is sentimental to Steve Cooper, being the former boss of Nottingham Forest.
However, he is the Leicester boss now. So, he will hope to make it three wins on the bounce in the Premier League, even at the expense of his former club.
Alas, here is the Leicester vs Nottingham Forest preview.
