Seeking a third straight win in the Premier League, Leicester City will host East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest on Friday evening, when manager Steve Cooper comes face to face with his former club.

After goals from attacking trio Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew helped the Foxes overcome Southampton in dramatic circumstances last week, all three could start - the latter is vying with Stephy Mavididi for selection on the left flank.

Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Buonanotte has been directly involved in five goals from his last six Premier League appearances: per 90 minutes, he ranks inside the Premier League's top 10 for goal involvements this season.

Meanwhile, veteran sharpshooter Vardy has scored three times from just nine shots so far, and that conversion rate makes him an automatic pick up front.

Following his stunning substitute performance last weekend, adding an assist for Buonanotte's goal to some impressive dribbling stats, young winger Abdul Fatawu could come in for Bilal El Khannouss.

There should be no changes at the back, though, as the defensive quartet of James Justin, Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli and Victor Kristiansen are set to start in front of goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

Injured pair Patson Daka and Hamza Choudhury will be sidelined once again, with the latter being ruled out of action since dislocating his shoulder at the start of the month.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Winks; Fatawu, Buonanotte, Ayew; Vardy
