Nottingham Forest started the season as fourth in the betting for Premier League relegation but a win at Leicester City tonight would send the soaring above Spurs, Chelsea and Brighton to fifth place.
Nuno Espirito Santo inherited a squad with plenty of talent and has now found the right balance for his starting XI, with Forest losing just one of their eight league games so far.
They will fancy their chances of keeping that run going in Leicester but the Foxes are another team who have been performing above expectations.
Steve Cooper's side were favourites to go down before a ball was kicked but Saturday's dramatic 3-2 win at Southampton moved them up to 14th, six points clear of the drop zone.

Leicester v Nottingham Forest top betting tips
Going for the half-time draw paid off for me in Nottingham Forest's win over Crystal Palace on Monday and that bet appeals again in what should be a tight game. It pays 11/10 this time with Betano.
Both teams have plenty of pace and trickery down the flanks and that could lead to the corner count racking up. Over 10.5 corners pays 20/23 at Betano while over five first-half corners is 13/10 at Bet365.
Issahaku Fatawu changed the game off the bench for Leicester against Saints and that should earn the winger a start. He's 7/4 with Bet365 to either assist or score.
Elliot Anderson was superb for Forest on Monday and the same firm are offering 6/4 on the midfielder having an effort on target.
Portsmouth vs Sheffield Wednesday top betting tips
Portsmouth have found life tough since winning promotion from League One and prop up the Championship table heading into tonight's game with Sheffield Wednesday.
John Mousinho's men claimed a big win over QPR last weekend but returned to the bottom of the pile after losing 2-0 away to Cardiff on Tuesday.
The Owls are in decent form, losing just one of their last five, so they could be worth a punt at 23/20 with Betano for the win.
Portsmouth will be fighting for their lives as they bid to claim some precious points and that could make it a busy night for the referee. Over 52.5 booking points pays 6/4 at Betfred while Pompey's Tom McIntyre is 11/2 at Bet365 for a third card this term.
Espanyol v Sevilla top betting tips
Espanyol and Sevilla have both made underwhelming starts in La Liga so they will be looking to climb up the table with a win when they lock horns in Barcelona tonight.
The hosts were routed 4-1 in Bilbao last weekend and that made it four defeats in the last five matches for Manolo Gonzalez's side.
Sevillla's form is going in the other direction, winning three of their last six, but they also suffered a heavy weekend loss with a 5-1 defeat at Barcelona.
They're back in the same city tonight and going for goals could pay off with neither side defending well at the moment. BTTS pays 17/20 at Betano and adding on over 2.5 strikes boosts the odds to 29/20 in a bet builder.
Spanish refs can often be card happy so I also fancy over 52.5 booking points at Evens with Betfred.
