Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
A reunion for Steve Cooper, an opportunity for Matheus Nunes and a dilemma for Mikel Arteta
Two years ago it was this fixture that looked to have brought an end to the Steve Cooper era at Nottingham Forest, losing 4-0 at the King Power Stadium. He survived another 14 months before being sacked. A few weeks ago, the situation looked equally critical for him at Leicester, but two wins in a row after a positive performance in defeat by Arsenal have put Cooper on a more stable footing. Despite the upturn in form, fans are still not fully convinced by the man that brought such success to their rivals. A win on Friday night, though, would secure a third straight victory and help to increase Cooper’s popularity. If they do get the points, Leicester would move into the top half, which would go some way to vindicating the manager’s appointment after a stuttering start to life back in the Premier League.
