Leicester came to the Premier League under the leadership of Steve Cooper, who was fired from Nottingham Forest last season. The upcoming meeting will obviously be of fundamental importance for the hosts' coach. In general, the "foxes" gradually adapted to the Premier League. For a long time at the start they were unable to win, but in the last two rounds they immediately won. First, they beat Bournemouth with a minimal score of 1:0 at home, and then they dealt with Southampton away (3:2).
Thanks to two victories in a row, https://www.lcfc.com/?lang=en target=_blank rel=noopener>Leicester has risen to 14th place in the league table and is six points clear of the relegation zone. We note the team good attacking performance - 12 goals scored, only Brentford scored more in the second half of the table. Jamie Vardy and Facundo Buonanotte stand out in the attack for the Foxes, scoring three goals each.
It should be noted that in the last game, Leicester players showed character, were losing 0:2 to Southampton after the first half, but fought to the end. As a result, after the opponent was sent off, they scored two goals, and the decisive goal was scored in the eighth minute of added time.

Nottingham Forest
EnglandCurrent form
Nottingham Forest are clearly performing above expectations at the start of the season. Eight rounds have passed and there is no talk of any fight for survival. The Foresters have 13 points and are in provisional eighth place. The table is fairly dense, the gap from the top 5 is only three points.
It should be noted that Nuno Espirito Santo charges have scored 8 of their 13 points away from home, where they have not yet lost. The most notable away success was undoubtedly the 1:0 victory over Liverpool. Nottingham Forest also took points from Chelsea in London (1:1). In the last round, the team managed to finish off Crystal Palace (1:0) on their home field, although the opponent had chances to score.
The success is largely due to a solid defense – they have conceded only six goals. Incidentally, this is the second highest figure in the league after Liverpool. It should be noted that Nottingham Forest will still play the game without their head coach on the bench. Nuno Espirito Santo is disqualified.
