“Steve Cooper must start these players to secure a win against Nottingham Forest,” as experts explain why Steve Cooper need to include two Leicester City stars in the lineup against City
**Steve Cooper Aims for Third Premier League Win as Leicester Faces Nottingham Forest**
Steve Cooper is looking to achieve his third Premier League victory as Leicester City manager when he takes on his former club, Nottingham Forest, this week.
A few games can significantly impact a club’s season. After earning promotion back to the Premier League, Leicester’s early performance hinted at a quick return to the Championship. Following a winless start to his tenure, pressure was mounting on Cooper.
However, Leicester managed a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth just before the international break, providing Cooper with some much-needed relief. Upon their return, they staged a remarkable comeback to beat Southampton 3-2, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to secure crucial points against a relegation rival.
**Key Players for the Nottingham Forest Match**
Although Southampton went down to ten men during the match, it was substitute Abdul Fatawu who made a significant impact. His performance, which included an assist and pivotal contributions to the equalizer, earned him praise from Leicester fans.
Harry Winks also excelled after coming on for former Tottenham teammate Oliver Skipp, helping solidify the midfield.
On the “When You’re Smiling: A Leicester City Podcast,” The Athletic’s Rob Tanner emphasized that both Winks and Fatawu should start against Nottingham Forest. He remarked, “When Fatawu is at his best, we’ve been eager to see him in the Premier League. Winks has proven himself, and having both in the lineup will boost the confidence of their teammates for this crucial local derby.”
**Fatawu Yet to Reach Full Potential**
Despite Fatawu’s standout performance against Southampton, many fans feel they have yet to see his full potential in the Premier League. At just 20 years old, he has time to develop, though he hasn’t started since the 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in week three. Still, he has recorded two assists in eight appearances, and after his recent display, it seems inevitable that Cooper will include him in the lineup against Nottingham Forest.
Cooper’s former team is currently performing well in the Premier League, and Leicester will likely need a moment of brilliance from a player like Fatawu to secure a positive result.
