Steve Cooper is looking to secure his third Premier League win as Leicester City manager when he faces former club Nottingham Forest this week.
What a difference a few games can make for a club’s season. After winning promotion back to the Premier League, their early-season form suggested Leicester City were set for a swift return to the Championship.
Pressure was mounting on Steve Cooper after he failed to win any of his opening six Premier League fixtures as the Foxes boss.
However, Leicester beat Bournemouth 1-0 prior to the international break to give the former Forest man some much-needed breathing space ahead of having a couple of weeks off.
Then, upon their return to action, Leicester beat Southampton 3-2, coming from 2-0 down to secure a massive three points against a relegation rival.
It was a sensational comeback that, in no small part, came about due to Cooper’s substitutes on the day.
Southampton did go down to 10 men during the clash but it was substitute Abdul Fatawu who really turned the game on its head.
Leicester fans heaped praise on Fatawu for his display, which included providing an assist and playing a key role in the equaliser on Saturday.
