Brendan Rodgers and Steve Cooper are two of the best British coaches in the business yet both know defeat tonight would leave their positions in great danger.
With Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha due to attend his first game since the home defeat by Southampton on August 20, Rodgers will be under scrutiny like never before during his three-and-a-half years as manager.
Lose this derby to Nottingham Forest and it will be one point from eight games for the Foxes. It is hard to see how Rodgers survives a run like that in the long term.
