Leicester City pack their bags to visit Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Friday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 10 of the 45 games.
The previous match played between the two at City Ground was within the last three years, in October 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division One match.
