📰 Team News: Nottingham Forest

We think that The Reds should use a 4-2-3-1 formation and select Matz Sels, Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Felipe Morato, Neco Williams, Ryan Yates, Nicolas Dominguez, Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.

📋 Team News: Leicester City

Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Ricardo Pereira (Muscle injury), Stephy Mavididi (unknown injury), Bobby De Cordova-Reid (Muscle injury), Mads Hermansen (Groin injury), Issahaku Fatawu (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Harry Souttar (Achilles tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, The Foxes might play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Jakub Stolarczyk, James Justin, Wout Faes, Conor Coady, Luke Thomas, Wilfred Ndidi, Oliver Skipp, Kasey McAteer, Jordan Ayew, Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Vardy.

🧠 Prediction

We envisage that Nottingham Forest have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, Leicester City will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once.

We reckon that it will be a 3-1 winning score for Nottingham Forest at full-time.
