Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo is hoping his players 'find themselves' again for the final part of the run-in.

Forest earned a point away to Crystal Palace last time out, coming back from a goal down to draw 1-1, though they are winless in three in all competitions in a run that has also seen them eliminated from the FA Cup.

"It's about finding ourselves again after the past three games. We defended better, it's so obvious, against a talented opponent in Palace," Nuno told BBC Match of the Day.

"The final games will be nervous, tight games. Everyone is fighting for something and Selhurst Park is always a tough place to come.

"All the teams in this big fight will give it a go."

For Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, meanwhile, he is hoping for more of the same on the Jamie Vardy farewell tour.

Vardy netted his ninth goal of the season in all competitions as the Foxes beat Southampton 2-0 at home in their last game, putting him on 199 goals for the club.

"It feels great to win and be back to winning ways. It was a long time, especially a home win. We wanted to end this cycle and end the season with some positivity," said Van Nistelrooy.

"If there was one player to break this cycle, it had to be Jamie [Vardy]. Goal number 199. Very important for him and the team to get us in front.

"He [Vardy] is lethal. We know with this home cycle without a win, it has been difficult especially with a striker like him in the team. We knew we were creating and now the two [goals] went in and that gave us a big lift.

"Everything comes to an end and for him it is clear he wants to move on. He wants to close this in the best way possible and that's what we have to respect.

The most important thing is to look back at his career here, at his games, his goals at the trophies that he wants. The crowd start realising it is the farewell tour of Jamie. With Forest and Ipswich to come for him to hopefully score his 200th goal."

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Nottingham Forest – Chris Wood

Despite not having scored in two, Wood is Nottingham Forest's top scorer with 19 league goals.

The next goal involvement for Wood will be his 100th in the Premier League (88 goals, 11 assists), with the striker only involved in more goals in the competition against West Ham United and Wolves (both nine) than Leicester.

Leicester City – Jamie Vardy

Vardy has scored 199 goals in 498 games for Leicester City in all competitions, while he could be the first player to start 300 Premier League games for the Foxes in this match.

Vardy netted in the 2-0 victory over Southampton last time out and one more goal will take him to 10 goals in all competitions this season.

MATCH PREDICTION: NOTTINGHAM FOREST WIN

Leicester have won just one of their last 18 away league games against Nottingham Forest (D5 L12), a 3-2 win in May 2013.

The Foxes are also winless in their last six on the road (D1 L5), conceding 14 and scoring just twice in that time.

Leicester have, in fact, won just two away games all season and have the second-worst travelling record in the Premier League behind Southampton.

Despite back-to-back defeats at the City Ground, Forest had been unbeaten in their previous 11 home games in all competitions.
