THE LOWDOWN
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Nottingham Forest gave their survival hopes a massive shot in the arm with a 0-1 victory away at fellow strugglers Southampton, meaning they have accrued four points from the last six available to them.
- Steve Cooper is hoping striker Taiwo Awoniyi will shake off a knock that saw him miss their Carabao Cup quarter-final victory this past Wednesday and should he be passed fit, Morgan Gibbs-White could drop into the Number 10 role.
LEICESTER
- Leicester are starting to look over their shoulders again following an awful 0-1 loss against Fulham, their third league defeat in a row which leaves them just two points above the bottom three.
- The Foxes remain without key midfielder James Maddison, which leaves them short of creativity up the pitch, whilst Jamie Vardy could come into the starting line-up having been benched in Leicester’s Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Newcastle in midweek.
THE TEAM NEWS
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
PREDICTED XI (4-3-1-2): Henderson; Aurier, Worrall, McKenna, Lodl; Yates, Freuler, Mangala; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi
UNAVAILABLE: Biancone (Injured), Boly (Injured), Kouyate (Injured), Lingard (Injured), Niakhate (Injured), Richards (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Awoniyi (Injured), N. Williams (Injured)
LEICESTER
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Tielemans; Albrighton, Perez, Barnes; Vardy
UNAVAILABLE: Bertrand (Injured), Evans (Injured), Justin (Injured), Maddison (Injured), Pereira (Injured), Soumare (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Dewsbury-Hall (Injured), Perez (Fitness), Praet (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
It’s hard to see where the next point is coming from at Leicester presently. Injuries to key personnel are taking their toll and they have failed to pick up a single point since the Premier League’s resumption in December. Nottingham Forest however, are riding the crest of a wave, which has only been heightened following their cup triumph in midweek. At what will be a bouncing City Ground, the hosts are likely to dominate the course of play and are well worth backing to secure another priceless victory.
TIP: NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO WIN
