Nottingham Forest lineup vs. Leicester City: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Seeking back-to-back wins in the Premier League, in-form Nottingham Forest will make the short trip to King Power Stadium on Friday, when they meet local rivals Leicester City.

Victory would take Forest up to fifth in the table after beating Crystal Palace on Monday night, so they will hope to have one of their star men back in the fold.

While the Tricky Trees can welcome both James Ward-Prowse and Morgan Gibbs-White back from suspension, the latter has been struggling with an ankle injury and may need more time to fully recover.

If the England international misses out, or starts on the bench, Elliot Anderson would keep his place as the support act for red-hot striker Chris Wood, who scored his fifth league goal of the season earlier this week.

Against Palace, Anderson became one of only three players to create five or more chances and complete at least five dribbles in one Premier League match this season, along with Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka.

Meanwhile, in central midfield, Nicolas Dominguez may find his place at risk due to Ward-Prowse's return, and it seems to be a straight fight between the pair to partner captain Ryan Yates.

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo is still absent from the dugout because of a three-match suspension, and long-term absentees Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo will join him on the sidelines.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Ward-Prowse; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood
