Footymad preview History of the Nottingham Forest v Leicester City fixture

Nottingham Forest prepare to entertain Leicester City at City Ground at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Forest are clearly on top, having won 28 and lost only 11 of the 50 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City Ground was just last season, in January 2012, when they played out a goalless draw in a F.A. Cup match.
