Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.

The Foxes have been dismal this season and sit bottom of the table with a single point to their name from seven matches, that draw coming on the opening day of the campaign. Since then it has been very tough going for Brendan Rodgers’ side, thrashed before the international break by Spurs and unable to add to their squad in any meaningful way over summer, despite a couple of key departures.

As for Forest, their return to the top flight meant a very busy transfer window and more than 20 new signings - but Steve Cooper’s side have managed just one win themselves so far and sit one place, and three points, above Leicester. A win would, however, take them out of the bottom three tonight.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

OFF THE POST! Forest will feel they should be in front, but Awoniyi's effort hit the upright after a brilliant pass from Gibbs-White. Cooper's side carved their way through the middle of Leicester's defence, but their main striker failed to punish the home side.

CHANCE! After that handball from Williams, Leicester nearly opened the scoring from a Maddison free-kick. However, neither Barnes nor Vardy could latch onto the cross, and replays showed that any touch could have been enough to beat Henderson.

Williams is shown a yellow card for a handball, although it did not look intentional.

Forest have been second best in every department so far, and Cooper has decided to change his formation. He has deployed a 4-5-1 tactic for the time being, with Awoniyi now playing as the sole striker.
