Analysis
Leicester City will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 loss to Fulham last weekend. They have been in inconsistent form this season, but they will be hoping to take advantage of Nottingham Forest's poor away record. Forest has lost six of their seven away matches this season and has scored just three goals on the road.
Nottingham Forest will be hoping to cause an upset and secure their third win of the season. They have been in better form recently and will be confident of getting a result at the King Power Stadium. However, they will need to be wary of Leicester's attacking threat.
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, but I think Leicester City will edge it. They have the better quality and home advantage. I predict a 2-1 win for Leicester City.
Odds
Leicester City is the favorite to win the match, with odds of 1.80. Nottingham Forest is priced at 4.50, while a draw is available at 3.60.
