Pundit Chris Sutton has tipped Nottingham Forest to beat Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
Forest have had an upturn in their fortunes, beating Southampton in their last league game before advancing to the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a penalty shootout win over Wolves.
Leicester meanwhile have failed to pick up a Premier League win since returning from the World Cup break in December, and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle earlier this week. The league results leave Leicester in 13th, while Forest have climbed to 15th. The two teams are separated on goal difference.

Momentum will play a big part, Sutton thinks, as he backed Forest to win 2-0 at the City Ground this weekend. Writing his predictions for BBC Sport, he said: "There were serious questions being asked about Steve Cooper's future as Nottingham Forest boss when his side got taken apart by Leicester at the start of October, but they have been much improved of late.
"Cooper paid the price for making a load of changes in the FA Cup at the weekend but that was justified by seeing them reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals a few days later.
"Forest are playing with real focus at the moment, while Leicester have not really started firing since the break for the World Cup. I'm going with another win for Cooper."
