MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• A stoppage-time goal from Anthony Knockaert gave Leicester a 3-2 victory in their last meeting with Nottingham Forest on 4 May at the City Ground, and the three points were sufficient to see Leicester sneak into the play-offs in dramatic fashion.
• Six months earlier the sides shared four goals in a thrilling draw at the King Power Stadium.
• The Foxes are unbeaten in six league and FA Cup meetings against Forest, having won two and drawn four since an odd goal in five defeat at the City Ground in the Championship in April 2011.
• The Nottingham club last took three away points off their east Midland rivals in March 2005. Leicester City
• The second-placed Foxes have won seven of the last eight in all competitions, and are chasing an 11th Championship maximum of the season, which would put them back to the top of the table, if Burnley fail to beat Bournemouth.
• But Nigel Pearson's men are yet to defeat a fellow top-six club.
• All but four of their 32 points have been gained from matches in which they have scored at least two goals.
• They are the only Championship club with a 100% record from league matches in which they have opened the scoring, having won all eight.
• Leicester have netted six goals from the penalty spot; the most scored by any side in England's top four divisions.
• If they line-up from the kick-off, defender Lloyd Dyer will be making his 150th Leicester league start and Dave Nugent, his 100th start for the Foxes.
Nottingham Forest
• Forest have suffered successive defeats for the first time this season.
• Billy Davies' 10-man side conceded a 90th minute goal against Blackpool last Saturday; it was the second time in three outings they had shipped a stoppage-time goal, which has cost them four points.
• The City Ground club have lost just six of their last 29 league games, but have only failed to score in one of the 14 this term.
• They have won only three of their last nine Championship matches against Midland opposition, but are yet to beat a fellow top-six club this season.
