Chris Wood leads Nottingham Forest with five goals this season after scoring in each of the last two fixtures for the Trees. Wood, a Premier League veteran having played on five teams in the top flight of English football, is in his third season with Forest off a 14-goal season, his most in the EPL since recording 14 goals with Burnley back in the 2019-20 campaign.
Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy is tied for the team lead with three goals this season, his 10th Premier League season with the Foxes. The 37-year-old forward has tallied 310 career goals as a professional and has twice helped Leicester get promoted from the Championship.
The all-time series is split 41-41-27 across all competitions with the home team winning the last two fixtures via a clean sheet. The two sides went eight years without playing between February 2014 and February 2022, the longest gap since a 13-year span from 1958 to 1971.
