Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has insisted that 'anything could happen' in Nottingham Forest's Premier League clash with Leicester City.
The Reds head into Monday’s game on the back of four straight defeats prior to the international break. They've suffered back-to-back 3-2 defeats after being ahead against Bournemouth and Fulham.
Their opponents this weekend have also struggled for form this season, with Brendan Rodgers' men losing six of their first seven games of the season. Rodgers has found himself under massive pressure following the 6-2 defeat to Tottenham, but looks set to take charge on Monday.

However, BBC Sport pundit Sutton has predicted a 2-1 victory for the Foxes at the King Power Stadium. He said: "These are the bottom two teams and really anything could happen here. It's hard to back either side to win it, because we know about their flaws.
"Leicester actually played quite well at times against Tottenham in their last game, but they just cannot defend - whether it is from set-pieces or open play.
"There was a lot of talk about Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers losing his job during the international break on the back of that 6-2 defeat but he survived, and I can't see them sacking him even if Leicester lose this game too.
"It wouldn't make any sense to get rid of him now, rather than during a break in the campaign when a new manager has got a bit of time to bed things in, but things need to improve before the season stops for the World Cup in mid-November, because that is an obvious time for struggling clubs to change their manager.
"Forest keep losing too, but I have massive sympathy for their manager Steve Cooper because of the amount of change there has been to his squad.
"Cooper is going to need time for his new-look team to gel and, in the meantime, they are going to find it tough.
"I do think Forest will score here - Leicester just can't keep a clean sheet - but I think the Foxes will edge it, and get a much-needed win."
