Nottingham Forest v Leicester City team newsWilly Boly scored his first goal for Nottingham Forest in the midweek Carabao Cup victory over former club Wolves but he later went off injuredTEAM NEWSNottingham Forest will assess striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who missed the EFL Cup quarter-final win against Wolves. Neco Williams also missed that tie with a facial injury, while fellow defender Willy Boly was substituted because of an ankle problem and is a doubt.
Given the poor run of form of visiting Leicester City, Forest could find themselves climbing to thirteenth in the table should they secure all three points tomorrow in conjunction with a Leeds United loss later today. Predicted Nottingham Forest XINottingham Forest Team NewsGiulian Biancone, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Omar Richards, Moussa Niakhaté, Jesse Lingard, and Willy Boly (out)Taiwo Awoniyi, and Neco Williams (doubt)Steve Cooper will be made to contend with a considerable casualty list when Nottingham Forest welcomes Leicester City to the City Ground tomorrow, with Giulian Biancone, Cheikhou Kouyaté, Omar Richards, Moussa Niakhaté, Jesse Lingard, and Willy Boly all on the treatment table, with Boly the latest to add his name to the list after having to come off in the club’s recent 1-1 draw in the Carabao Cup.
Nottingham Forest team news & predicted line-up vs Leicester CityPromoted Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest may have finally settled to life back in the top flight of English football this season after the City Ground outfit climbed out of the bottom three amid a decent run of form in their last six league fixtures while posting point hauls on four occasions (2-2-2). Forest still struggles for goals, however, with their total of 13 coming in as the second-worst scoring side in the league, with only Wolves finding the back of the net on fewer occasions. But Steve Cooper seems to have righted the ship enough of late to offer a potential springboard for further improvement in the wake of the extended international break.

They've scored the opening goal in seven of their nine home league fixtures this season, a joint-high alongside Manchester City. All four of Forest's league victories this campaign have been by a 1-0 scoreline. They are the only club in the division yet to have scored a left-footed goal in 2022-23. Leicester CityLeicester have lost all three of their Premier League fixtures since the World Cup, having won four of their previous five beforehand. The Foxes are looking to avoid losing their first two league games of a calendar year for the first time since 2006. All five of their victories in the league this season have come against teams currently below them in the table, with an aggregate score of 14-0.

Prediction: 2-1Sutton's full predictions v singer-songwriter Gaz CoombesMATCH FACTSHead-to-headThis will be the 100th league meeting between the teams, with Leicester City ahead by 39 wins to Forest's 36. The Foxes could complete a league double in this fixture for the first time since the 1971-72 season. However, they've won only one of their last 17 league games at the City Ground and haven't scored in three previous Premier League visits to Forest. Nottingham ForestNottingham Forest are looking to win consecutive Premier League matches for the first time this season. Steve Cooper's side are unbeaten in their last five home league games (W2, D3).
Leicester will be without midfielders James Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall but Dennis Praet may return. Forward Ayoze Perez could miss out after picking up a knock during the midweek cup defeat at Newcastle. Visit our Nottingham Forest pageGo straight to all the best Leicester City contentCHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTIONThere were serious questions being asked about Steve Cooper's future as Nottingham Forest boss when his side got taken apart by Leicester at the start of October but they have been much improved of late. Cooper paid the price for making a load of changes in the FA Cup at the weekend but that was justified by seeing them reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals a few days later. Forest are playing with real focus at the moment, while Leicester have not really started firing since the break for the World Cup. I'm going with another win for Cooper.

The Forest boss may be able to welcome back striker Taiwo Awoniyi and defender Nico Williams, however, which would be a massive boost to a currently thinned-out senior squad for what will be a key mid-season test for Cooper’s men.
