Leicester vs Nottingham Team News
For the team news, we expect Jamie Vardy to still lead the line while players like Harry Winks will be hoping to start in the Midfield.
As for the injury news, Leicester City will be without some players like Patson Daka and Hamza Choudhury who are out injured.
For Nottingham Forest, some key players might return to the starting lineup to boost their squad. Morgan Gibbs-White and James Ward-Prowse will be back after they have served their suspensions. As expected Chris Wood will lead the line and as for injuries, they have Ibrahim Sangare out due to injury.
Probable XI:
Leicester XI: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
Nottingham XI: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Ward-Prowse; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood
Verdict
Both teams have different strengths this season as Nottingham Forest has been defensively solid while the Leicester City attack has been constantly improving.
Nottingham Forest’s 5 draws in the league this season all had a 1-1 scoreline and Leicester City also have a knack for 1-1 scorelines at home too.
This scoreline and their pattern of play plus the returning Nottingham Forest’s attacks suggests a Nottingham Forest win or draw result.

Under 2.5 Goals
Reason: Due to Nottingham Forest’s defensive solidity and Leicester City’s struggles to score, we believe this game will not see more than 2 goals scored.
Chris Wood is to Score Anytime
Reason: Chris Wood has been in hot form in recent games after netting 5 of Nottingham Forest’s last 8 EPL goals this season. We believe he’ll find the net again.
