National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Nottingham Forest or Leicester City that keep their silverware dream alive.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.

Nottingham Forest have played 15 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-6 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Nottingham will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Cardiff City. Defender Cook got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.3/10. Cook won 4 of 6 duels.

Ahead of that match, Nottingham Forest won a home game hosting Barnsley (3-0).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nottingham Forest as they are travelling to their away game against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. That match is three days after this one.

Nottingham Forest are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. Nottingham have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Leicester City form and stats

Nothing but glory last season for Leicester City, as they won the FA Cup.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Leicester City so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Leicester City's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Brighton & Hove Albion. Tielemans got a match rating of 8.05 in that game, top player of the team. Tielemans hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Tottenham Hotspur.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Liverpool.

Leicester City has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 15 goals from 9 games. The Leicester City manager Rodgers has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
