Leicester vs Nottingham Forest

Since Nuno Espírito Santo's first game in charge of Nottingham Forest (23rd December, 2023), only Erling Haaland (18) has scored more non-penalty goals in the Premier League than Chris Wood (17).

Only Liverpool (12) have earned more away points in the Premier League this season than Nottingham Forest (11). Indeed, only in 1909-10 (13), 1950-51 (13), 1957-58 (12), and 1987-88 (12) have the Tricky Trees ever had more points from their opening five away games of a league campaign (assuming 3 pts/win all-time).

Leicester City have played 14 Premier League games on a Friday but won just one of them (D4 L9), a win rate of 7%; among sides to play more than five times on this particular day of the week in the competition, only Crystal Palace (0% - 0/10) have a poorer win ratio.

Leicester have won their last two Premier League home games against Nottingham Forest (December 1998 and October 2022), having won neither of their first two in the competition (D1 L1).

Nottingham Forest won 2-0 against Leicester in their last league meeting (January 2023), last winning consecutive league games against the Foxes in March 2005/December 2009.

There have been at least four goals scored in all four of Leicester’s Premier League home games against Nottingham Forest – a 4-2 win for Forest in March 1995, a 2-2 draw in December 1996, and 3-1 and 4-0 wins for Leicester in December 1998 and October 2022 respectively.

After winning none of their first six Premier League games this season (D3 L3), Leicester have since won both of their last two. The Foxes last won three successive matches in the competition in January 2021 under Brendan Rodgers.

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last six away games in the Premier League (W4 D2); their longest run without an away defeat in the top-flight since February-October 1995 (12 games). Forest have averaged 1.36 points per away match in the Premier League under Nuno Espírito Santo, after averaging just 0.46 under previous manager Steve Cooper.
