Man United Engages In Secret Talks With Manager

I want to draw your attention to one of our key articles on the website this evening.

Chris Wheeler has revealed that Manchester United has been engaged in discreet discussions with several managers as they contemplate parting ways with Erik ten Hag.

They certainly chose to stick with the Dutchman during the summer, but it looks like a change might be on the horizon soon.

You can find the complete narrative below:

Everything's Square In Leicestershire

A delightful experience, and in part.

Both team leaders have found the net, with Ryan Yates starting things off with a long-range shot, followed by Jamie Vardy, who capped it off thanks to some impressive setup work by Harry Winks.

Forest seemed more probable to score, but the game has been quite fast-paced with action at both ends. Nuno won't be pleased with that. He's on his way from the press box to the locker room now.

I would bet that there will be more goals in this.

Half-Time Update: Leicester 1, Nottingham 1

Leicester loses possession of the ball in their defensive area, much to the frustration of their fans.

Hudson-Odoi connects with Wood, who hasn't been very involved in the game so far, but his weak attempt is easily defended.

Vardy gets a chance at the other side, but it's really just a small opportunity.

That's all for this half, which concludes with a shot from Mavididi that goes off target.

Forest are content to let Leicester control the ball and seem at ease when they do. However, things change on the counterattack. Moreno receives a yellow card for fouling Fatawu, which isn’t ideal when you’ll be playing most of the match like that.

Vardy has a slight opportunity inside the penalty area, but he struggles to control the ball.

An extra two minutes have been added.

Leicester And Nottingham Forest End In Draw

An excellent throw along the right side reaches Buonanotte, who sends a ground pass into the center of the box.

That's all sorted now, but another cross comes in, and Aina has to clear it with a header for a corner kick.

Winks makes a pass, and there are a couple of calls for a penalty. However, the ball eventually goes out for a goal kick. There were claims that it should have been a corner kick.

Leicester And Nottingham Forest Draw 1-1

Pereira makes his way into the book for fouling Elanga when he was about 35 yards from the goal. He has had a challenging start in his first appearances this season.

Elanga takes the shot himself... but it hits the wall.

Hudson-Odoi keeps pushing forward and takes a shot from afar. Once again, Hermansen makes the save.

Leicester Draws 1-1 With Nottingham Forest

There are definitely additional objectives involved in this.

Forest is generating opportunities at will, while Leicester seems a bit lost on the field. However, they haven't been able to capitalize on these chances due to a lack of quality in their play.

Leicester also appears to pose a danger. Elanga is seeking a free kick while attempting to make a run, but Justin handles the situation effectively.

Incredible Save: Leicester Vs Nottingham 1-1

It could have been 2-1 for Forest! Murillo earns a corner, and it reaches Dominguez at the far post, where he has plenty of space.

He definitely needs to finish that chance. He's only a yard away from the goal. Suddenly, Hermansen appears out of nowhere and makes an incredible block. His teammates rush over to celebrate him. What a save!

Leicester And Nottingham Forest Draw 1-1

There’s a significant space in the midfield of Forest, and Harry Winks takes the initiative, making a forward run and continuing from his pass.

He tracks the ball over to the left side and sends a cross in. Who's there to meet it? Jamie Vardy, who slips between Milenkovic and Murillo to level the score.

Just like that, my FPL clean sheet is gone.

Leicester Vs Nottingham: 1-1 Draw Highlights

The forests are fully alive now.

Elanga sprints towards Pereira and attempts to lift the ball to the far post, but there's no one there to take advantage of it.

The sound is all coming from that section at the far end.

Wait a minute – we've got an equalizer!

Nottingham Forest Edges Leicester 1-0

Based on their overall performance, I believe Forest has earned the lead.

Leicester's performance is lacking here. They struggle to clear the corner effectively—Buonanotte attempts to dribble away but ends up losing possession. Justin's clearance isn't great either, allowing Yates to take a long-range shot.

Hermansen could likely perform better, but he doesn't, and Forest takes the lead. The fans cheer for Ryan Yates, one of their own.

Leicester Falls To Nottingham Forest 0-1

Both teams are testing the waters, to be frank. The match has been quite balanced so far.

It seems like Leicester has a distinct strategy to match Fatawu and Mavidid against the opposing full-backs. However, Aina and Moreno have been successfully handling those matchups so far.

Now we're at a spot in the forest. The ball reaches Yates... and it’s in the net!

Leicester And Nottingham Forest Clash Ends In Draw

Leicester has gained some control over the ball. Buonanotte takes possession in the middle of the field and charges toward the goal, but his shot gets deflected.

There was a bit of chaos with the pinball action coming from the side, but eventually, Forest managed to clear the ball away.

It was a solid progression in their play, but the sequence concludes with Ndidi heading the ball off target.

Leicester And Nottingham Forest End In Draw

Nuno is currently in the press box, as noted by Sky. He's sitting out the second game of a three-match suspension after being sent off during the match against Brighton.

Moreno earns a corner kick for Forest, who have been performing better in the match up to this point. Elanga is met with a cold response as he approaches to take the kick.

Okoli clears the ball this time while Milenkovic is lying on the ground.

Leicester And Nottingham Forest End In 0-0 Draw

Pereira committed an early foul on Hudson-Odoi, allowing Forest to send the ball into the box in search of players like Wood and Milenkovic.

Elanga sends the ball into the box, and it narrowly makes it through. There are suggestions that it grazed Justin, who is playing left back while Pereira is on the bench for the first time this season, but those claims go unacknowledged.

Leicester aims to implement a strategy where the Portuguese player takes on a different position, essentially playing more centrally than usual.

Match Preview: Leicester Vs. Nottingham Forest

The supporters of Leicester are passionate and spirited.

Right before the match starts, we observe a moment of silence and listen to The Last Post, since this is Leicester's final home game before Remembrance Sunday.

The Teams Are Arriving!

The moment for discussions is over. The teams are now heading out onto the field at the King Power Stadium.

We will be starting shortly.

The next stage of the Premier League is here.

Nuno Praises Steve's Incredible Work

Warm Weather Arrives In Leicester

Most of the images in our collection feature Jamie Carragher dressed in a large Robin Hood costume, but tucked in there are also some photos from the warm-up.

We’ve got roughly 15 minutes left before the game starts. It’s pretty chilly at around 14 degrees, but it’s expected to get down to 12, so we’re definitely wearing gloves.

Fatawu Shines At King Power Stadium

I brought up Fatawu before, and there's a clear explanation for it.

A quick look at Match of the Day showcased his influence on the match against Southampton. However, when you actually watch the game, it's clear he made a significant difference.

He came on the field, struck the crossbar, and assisted Facundo Buonanotte in scoring the team's opening goal. The 20-year-old is an incredibly promising winger.

Tom has shared a bit more about himself. You can check it out below:

Carragher Puts Visitors Ahead Early

People are talking about how the competition between the mascots of these two teams is just as intense as the rivalry they share during the games.

A short race just happened a few minutes ago. Filbert Fox was there for Leicester, while Robin Hood represented Forest. In the end, Robin Hood emerged victorious and surprisingly unveiled himself as Jamie Carragher!

It seems he was competing against a personal trainer. Gary Neville later mentioned that there was a request for him to wear the Fox costume, but it was turned down.

Cooper: "Every Team Has What It Takes"

Steve Cooper, the manager of Leicester, spoke to Sky Sports:

Earlier, I was browsing through social media in search of some quotes when I came across this post from Leicester on X. It's definitely a bold opinion.

It might be a bit of a joke, but Jamie Vardy is genuinely amusing, don’t you think?

He’s bound to provoke the opposing fans once more this evening, particularly if he manages to net a goal.

Reds' Future Looks Bright

Nottingham Forest is definitely in a better position compared to last season.

They've shown great strength in defense this season, achieving impressive results against teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Brighton.

As I mentioned, they're focusing on their progress rather than dwelling on setbacks. Nuno has created a stable environment for the team, and they have the chance to move up to fifth place this evening.

Nottingham Forest returns to European competition—it's hard to believe, isn’t it?

Are Leicester Gaining Momentum?

Leicester is on a high tonight after securing a victory against fellow newly promoted team Southampton in their last match.

After falling behind 2-0, Russell Martin's team (seriously, how is he still coaching?) fell apart, allowing the Foxes to net a goal right at the end of the match, clinching a 3-2 victory.

This marked their second victory of the season, following an earlier away win against Bournemouth. Now, they're aiming to secure a third consecutive win.

"Gibbs-White Unlikely To Play Before Break"

Cooper Takes On His Former Team

This is definitely familiar territory for Steve Cooper. He's back where he feels at home, but he's up against Forest.

This marks the first occasion he's returned to his former team since departing at the end of last year. During his previous tenure, he managed 108 matches, successfully guiding the club from the bottom of the Championship to safety in the Premier League.

He'll always be held in high regard at the City Ground, but tonight it's all about focusing on the game and securing three points for his team. I'm certain there are no hard feelings between him and Nuno, who has elevated Forest to impressive new levels, it appears.

"Cooper Makes Minimal Contributions"

Written by Tom Collomosse at the King Power Stadium

Nottingham Forest Team Update: No Changes

As anticipated, Nuno has selected the same lineup that secured a victory against Crystal Palace on Monday.

This indicates that Ola Aina and Alex Moreno will remain in the fullback positions, while Elliott Anderson aims to make an impression once more in the offensive zone.

The on-fire Chris Wood continues to take the lead. Unfortunately, Morgan Gibbs-White is absent once more.

Leicester Team News: Fatawu To Start

Abdul Fatawu receives a starting spot today following his impressive performance against Southampton.

He takes the place of Bilal El Khannouss. In other changes, Ricardo Pereira comes in for Victor Kristiansen, with James Justin likely moving to the left-back position, and Harry Winks stepping in for Oliver Skipp.

It seems like the team is more stable now and has some added talent in the offensive positions. That's a positive development!

This match is commonly known as the East Midlands derby, and tonight marks the 109th clash between these two clubs.

In simple terms, these are the two top teams in the area, which is why there’s so much rivalry between them.

The two stadiums are 22 miles apart, and the last time they played against each other was in January 2023, when Forest secured a 2-0 victory during the season that saw Leicester get relegated.

Well, now that we've wrapped up our little lesson on history (or perhaps geography?), we have some updates to share about the team.

"Where Do They Stand Now?"

Tonight's matchup may not seem like the most exciting on paper, with the eighth-place team facing off against the 14th, but both squads have been experiencing some fascinating seasons up to this point.

After struggling to avoid relegation last season, Forest is performing impressively under Nuno's leadership. They have only lost one out of their eight games so far, and a victory would push them into fifth place. This gives them a sense of optimism as they begin to focus on climbing the standings rather than worrying about relegation.

Leicester's future was unclear following Enzo Maresca's departure, compounded by the possibility of a points deduction hanging over them. However, that situation has now been resolved, and with two victories in their recent games, they can feel more stable.

They've found the back of the net in every Premier League match this season. Although they have a challenging game ahead tonight, they are likely feeling confident playing on their home turf.

And by the way, it's a local rivalry match.
