Sports Mole looks ahead to Wednesday night's big East Midlands derby between Leicester City and Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

The Championship's top two form sides clash in an East Midlands derby on Wednesday night as Nottingham Forest take on Leicester City at the City Ground.

Both clubs are pushing for promotion and have unbeaten league runs of more than 10 games going into the match.

Leicester are the runaway leaders and victory would strengthen their position in the automatic promotion places further as nearest challengers Queens Park Rangers and Burnley both dropped points over the weekend.

Nigel Pearson's side will have had 11 days' rest come Wednesday and are also boosted by the earlier-than-expected return of centre-back Liam Moore.

Forest, meanwhile, were in FA Cup action on Sunday and threw away a lead against League One side Sheffield United to be dumped out at the fifth round.

Billy Davies has no fresh injury concerns but must decide which of his frontmen to go for, with Simon Cox, Rafik Djebbour and Jamie Mackie in contention to start.

The reverse fixture back in November went Forest's way as they won 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, still Leicester's only home defeat of the campaign.

Leicester: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky; Knockaert, James, Drinkwater, Dyer; Nugent, Vardy

Sports Mole says: 2-2
