Nottingham Forest vs Leicester City
Locked together with their near neighbours on 17 points after 18 Premier League games, Leicester City were knocked out in the EFL Cup quarter-finals by Newcastle United on Tuesday, at St James' Park. The Foxes did beat Gillingham 1-0 in the FA Cup three days beforehand, to progress to the fourth round of the competition they memorably won in 2021, but return to league action following a three-game losing run in the top flight. Brendan Rodgers led his team to a 4-0 demolition of Forest when the clubs met in Leicester last October, and today's visitors could now complete the double over their East Midlands rivals for the first time since the 1971-72 campaign.
Nottingham Forest vs Leicester City
Having secured their spot in the EFL Cup semi-finals with a midweek win, Nottingham Forest return to Premier League duty today, seeking to continue their improved form of late. Forest eliminated Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties on Wednesday - booking a semi-final date with Manchester United - just days after suffering a 4-1 FA Cup humbling at the hands of second-tier Blackpool. Last time out in the Premier League, a 1-0 victory over Southampton lifted them clear of the relegation zone, and Steve Cooper's side are unbeaten in seven successive home matches - including visits from Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
