History of the Leicester City v Nottingham Forest fixture
Nottingham Forest face a trip to Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Forest will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 28 and win only 8 of the 50 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Walkers Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2012, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.
