Nottingham Forest will be hoping to keep the good feeling under manager Steve Cooper going when they host Leicester City in the latest round of FA Cup fixtures on TV.

Since the Welsh coach took charge in September, the Reds have transformed from relegation candidates to promotion hopefuls and even knocked out Arsenal in the third round of this competition back in January.

The 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City on Sunday will have done little to take the wind out of their sails and we can expect a City Ground packed full of Garibaldi red on Sunday.

Holders Leicester made a strong start to their FA Cup defence with a 4-1 win over Watford in the third round but they've struggled to return to their 2020/21 levels this season.

The last thing Brendan Rodgers needs is a cup upset, particularly after their stoppage-time capitulation against Tottenham in January, but his side's first trip to the City Ground in eight years will be a tough test.

Our prediction: Nottingham Forest v Leicester City

The Premier League winter break may just have come at the perfect time for Leicester, allowing their squad some time to rest up ahead of this all East Midlands tie.

Rodgers' side have struggled to put a consistent run of results together in the league but the FA Cup proved a welcome relief last month and they won't want to see their defence of it ended by Forest on Sunday.

The Reds will feel confident of coming away with a result but you'd expect Leicester to be able to secure their place in the next round of the competition.

Our prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Leicester City (14/1 at bet365)
