Nottingham Forest can expect to find themselves up against a side on a revenge mission on Saturday.
The Reds will go head-to-head with Leicester at The Walkers Stadium (kick-off 3pm), less than three months after humbling their local rivals.
Forest ran out 5-1 winners over The Foxes at
The City Ground in December but are braced for a backlash this weekend.
Billy Davies' men have lost their last three away games but will make the short trip down the A46 boosted by successive home wins over Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.
Leicester, meanwhile, are unbeaten in seven games and won 1-0 at Doncaster on Tuesday.
A minute's applause will be observed before the game in memory of former Leicester captain Bobby Smith, who passed away earlier this week.
Team newsForest have no fresh injury problems and are boosted by the return to availability of
Nathan Tyson, who missed the win over Middlesbrough due to illness.
The Reds will, however, still be without
Garath McCleary, who completes his three-match suspension this weekend, and
Joel Lynch, who has a thigh injury.
Leicester will be without striker Matt Fryatt, who is facing several more weeks on the sidelines after suffering a double fracture of the jaw last month.
Their key man
The absence of Matt Fryatt has added to the pressure on the shoulders of on-loan striker Martyn Waghorn.
Fryatt had helped fire Leicester into the promotion reckoning with 11 Championship goals before his injury lay-off.
Now Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is looking to the likes of Waghorn to contribute in front of goal - and he's rising to the challenge.
The 20 year old, who is on loan at The Walkers Stadium from Sunderland, scored the winner at Doncaster on Tuesday - his seventh goal of the season.
What the record books sayForest's five-goal demolition of Leicester at
The City Ground in December brought The Reds level with their East Midlands rivals in the all-time stats.
The two sides have now enjoyed 36 league and cup wins over each other - with 21 games finishing deadlocked.
The honours - and plaudits - most definitely belonged to Forest when the two teams went head-to-head on Trentside.
Billy Davies' men produced a scintillating display, running out 5-1 winners as Christmas came early for supporters of a red persuasion.
Things could not have started better for the home side as
Robert Earnshaw gave them a 12th minute lead with a cool finish from
Dexter Blackstock's perfectly weighted pass.
Earnshaw doubled Forest's lead before half-time with another excellent finish from close range after
Chris Cohen's initial shot had been blocked.
And the second half was just four minutes old when the Welsh international completed his hat-trick, seizing on a mis-placed pass and cutting inside Wayne Brown before finishing with aplomb.
Paul Anderson could not hide his delight after making it 4-0 against his home town club in the 54th minute with a first-time shot after more good work by Blackstock.
Martyn Waghorn pulled a goal back for Leicester from the penalty spot after Blackstock had been harshly adjudged to have handled in the area.
But
Dele Adebola made it a five-star show for Forest 14 minutes from time as he bagged his second goal of the season, dispatching the rebound after
Garath McCleary's initial shot had been parried by Chris Weale.
