Nottingham Forest have dropped out of the top five in the Premier League following a string of just one win in five top-flight matches. However, the Tricky Trees will look to revive their Champions League ambitions when Leicester, who are already relegated, visit the City Ground.
Although Leicester ended a 12-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over bottom-placed Southampton last week, facing Forest poses a tougher challenge. Nuno Espirito Santo's side may be running low on energy, but they remain a formidable opponent.
Team news
Forest will be missing Callum Hudson-Odoi due to a hamstring injury. Nuno Espirito Santo must decide whether to bring in Ramon Sosa or Jota Silva as a replacement. There is also the option of shifting Elliot Anderson to a wider position and deploying Nicolas Dominguez in the central midfield.
Nuno is also concerned about the fitness of star defender Murillo, who had to leave the game against Crystal Palace due to an injury. His condition will be assessed, with Morato likely to step in if he is not fit to play.
Leicester have a number of players sidelined with long-term injuries, including Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Abdul Fatawu, Mads Hermansen, Stephy Mavididi, Ricardo Pereira, and Harry Souttar.
The stats
Forest boast the joint-best defensive record at home in the Premier League, having conceded only 13 goals.
In contrast, Leicester have the worst defensive record away from home, having conceded 42 goals.
Leicester have won just one of their last 15 away matches since November.
In seven of Forest's last eight home games, at least one team has failed to score.
Both teams have scored in only one of Leicester's last 11 matches.
Forest's striker Chris Wood has scored 19 goals this season from just 58 shots.
Prediction
While Nottingham Forest's hopes of making it to the Champions League are dwindling, they have an opportunity to bounce back against Leicester, who have already confirmed their relegation.
Forest are significantly ahead of Leicester by 40 points and the Foxes will be returning to the Championship next season, with or without Ruud van Nistelrooy. Recent reports suggest that the Dutch coach's time at Leicester may be coming to an end after the current campaign.
Leicester managed to secure a 2-0 win over Southampton, ending their long winless run and salvaging some pride. However, facing Forest, who are a stronger team, poses a different challenge.
Despite recent defeats, Forest have amassed 31 points at home this season and are likely to get back on track with a win.
Nuno may prioritize a defensive approach to secure three points, which has been effective for Forest this season. Leicester have struggled to find the net in recent matches, and it won't be surprising if they fail to score against Forest.
With both teams facing inconsistencies, a single goal could be enough to tilt the match in favor of the hosts.
